Abstract

Students (N = 395) at several U.S. community colleges (N = 220) and universities (N = 175) completed the Entrepreneurial Attitudes Orientation (EAO) survey. Results indicated that university students possessed attitudes which were stronger than their community college peers on all four of the entrepreneurial attitudes. Similarly, university students reported that they felt significantly more prepared to start their own businesses, wanted to start their own businesses, and felt they were significantly more likely to start their own businesses than those students from the community colleges. Consideration is given to potential explanations for these differences and implications for entrepreneurship education.
