The sample was made using non-probabilistic sampling, of the intentional type, complying with inclusion and exclusion criteria. The research method approach was quantitative descriptive, correlational scope, with non – experimental and transverse design. The instruments used were Inventory of study habits by Pozar (2002), and Inventory of Academic Stress by (Barraza ,2007). Both of them have a good internal validity. As a result, it was obtained that there is a correlation of 0,230*, it means that there is a low positive correlation between these two variables.
