African American Students' Attitudes Toward Entrepreneurship Education

Abstract

Though making up more than 12% of the U.S. population, African Americans own only 3% of the small businesses. Given the rapidly changing demographics in the United States, this group must increase its rate of enterprise creation if the job-creating flow of business start-ups is to continue. This study examines the attitudes of African American students toward entrepreneurship education in a southeastern, historically Black university. The results reveal different levels of student attitudes toward various aspects of the entrepreneurship curriculum. Differences were found in attitude levels with respect to sex, age, parental background, GPA, number of entrepreneurship classes taken, and student classification. Implications for curriculum development are discussed.
