Abstract
Entrepreneurship education has been discussed in entrepreneurship research as an essential ingredient for the development of entrepreneurial skills and an entrepreneurial mindset among students. Many Universities, all over the world, offer entrepreneurship related courses (either compulsory or elective), among other offerings. The research results regarding the effect of entrepreneurial offerings on student entrepreneurship though, are inconsistent, with some showing a positive and some even showing a negative effect. Additionally, the share of nascent and active entrepreneurs remains relatively low among tertiary students, and only a small share of students would like to become entrepreneurs directly after their studies. The aim of this paper is to assess the perception of Program Learning as an indicator of entrepreneurship offerings effectiveness by different groups of students (active, nascent, dreamers and abstainers) and to identify those that benefit the most out of offerings. We analyze data from 187.492 students in 50 countries of the “Global University Entrepreneurial Spirit Students’ Survey”(GUESSS), collected from November 2018 to January 2019. GUESSS is an international research project that focuses on the entrepreneurial intentions and activities of university students across many countries. Results show that active, nascent entrepreneurs and intentional entrepreneurs have greater benefit from university offering, than (non-intentional) abstainers. Also, those who attended compulsory courses as part of their studies explicitly declare to have more benefit than those who attended elective courses. Finally, significant differences are observed between business and engineering students. These results offer valuable insights for the impact of entrepreneurship education to curriculum designers and educators. We propose that entrepreneurship offerings should be redesigned to fit the special needs of different groups of students (intentional, nascent, active entrepreneurs).
