Abstract
This study aims to analyze the impact of entrepreneurship education on
students’ attitudes. A deductive approach is used to arrive at conclusive
evidence of the role entrepreneurship education plays in generating positive
student attitude towards entrepreneurship. The target population of the study is
students of the FAST National University Islamabad, Pakistan who are enrolled
in the Entrepreneurship Program. Sample size of the study is 100 graduating
students who are aspiring entrepreneurs if guided in the right direction. The
instrument is adopted from Karhunen, Ledyaeva, Gustafsson-Pesonen and
Vasilenko (2008), and is measured against a five point likert scale analyzed
using the paired sample t-test statistics. The results revealed that the
entrepreneurship education significantly affects students’ attitude towards
entrepreneurial activity. Students’ opinions about the perceived intrinsic and
extrinsic barriers to entrepreneurship have been significantly reduced as a result
of acquiring entrepreneurship education. This study provides practical and
theoretical implications of inculcating formal entrepreneurship education to
enhance positive attitude towards entrepreneurship
