Abstract: University Social Responsibility (USR) programs are closely linked to comprehensive student education, as they integrate academic learning with ethical, social, and civic development; these programs not only strengthen students' technical knowledge, but also promote values such as solidarity, commitment, and empathy by involving them in community actions and projects oriented to the common good; This study sought to establish the degree of connection between USR and comprehensive university education. A basic type study with a quantitative approach and correlational level, the survey technique and the instrument were used, the questionnaire called University Social Responsibility and Comprehensive Student Education. The population consisted of 221 students from the Faculty of Engineering of a public university in the department of Junín - Peru , the inclusion criterion being enrolled in the 2025-I academic period. The data were processed through structural equations (SEM); Within the results, we can see a Spearman Rho correlation coefficient of 0.831 with a significance level of 0.001, which demonstrates a positive and strong association between the variables studied. Furthermore, the general hypothesis of a significant relationship between University Social Responsibility and the comprehensive development of students is validated.
