Sumario:Young people consume more music than other groups because music helps them define their identity. The musical consumer preferences of this group are bound by their environment, age, and sex. This research study, using a culturally adapted version of the questionnaire “Cultural habits and practices in Spain” (“Hábitos y prácticas culturales en España”; Ministry of Education, Culture, and Sports, 2003), involved a sample of 530 undergraduate students that belong to 10 of 15 faculties of the Autonomous University of Chihuahua (UACH-Mexico). The objective was to know the music consumption habits of Mexican students and possible differences among students of each faculty. The results demonstrated differences in musical preferences and the selection of media with which to listen to music that relate to distinct area of academic knowledge.
