Description
Summary:We examine the education-entrepreneurial intentions relationship and the effects of experiential entrepreneurship education. Relying on the theory of planned behavior and the theory of human behavior, we develop and test hypotheses to enhance the knowledge in the field of entrepreneurship education. This study discerns ways in which experiential education in entrepreneurship can positively affect the attitudes and intentions of students, and to further the base of knowledge in the link between education programs and intentions. Results suggest that problem based experiential learning does indeed impact how students think about entrepreneurship as a career and their perceived level of control.
