| Summary: | Graduates emerge from educational institutions yearly. Through entrepreneurship education, the
media and society are raising questions about whether or not universities are providing students
with sufficient knowledge and the necessary skills to boost the economy of the country. The purpose
of this paper was to investigate the extent to which the content of a university's curriculum
inculcated entrepreneurial mind sets in university students. As a consequence of this, the intention
of this study was to investigate whether or not the content of the curriculum taught in universities
increased the desire of students to begin their very own businesses. The investigation used both
explanatory and descriptive research designs, and it also included a case study. The sample size
for the research was decided to be 189 different students. The research employed non-probability
sampling methods as well as probability sampling methods, in particular stratified sampling
methods and convenience sampling methods. In-depth interviews and questionnaires were used to
collect the data for this study. The research that demonstrated that the nature of the instruction
provided in an entrepreneurial program has a significant impact on the number of people who
choose to pursue entrepreneurial endeavors. Students in higher education should be encouraged
to think of themselves as potential business owners through the implementation of an
entrepreneurship curriculum that should be standard across all departments. |
