Entrepreneurship Education: Attitudes Across Campus

Abstract

The authors investigated student and faculty attitudes toward entrepreneurship and entrepreneurship education. The authors collected data from 317 students and 87 faculty members at a comprehensive 4-year university to examine students' level of interest in entrepreneurial education, perceptions of motivations and barriers to startup businesses, and occupational aspirations. Student and faculty respondents represented a variety of disciplines in and outside colleges of business. Key findings follow: (a) Student and faculty views on entrepreneurship often differ dramatically, particularly in terms of students' occupational aspirations; (b) interest among nonbusiness students suggests a significant opportunity to formally expand entrepreneurship-related education beyond the business school; and (c) in contrast to previous researchers, the authors identified no significant differences between male and female students regarding interest in entrepreneurship.
