Abstract
Entrepreneurship has most commonly been thought of as in terms of economics and business
ventures, but today, it is seen from several other perspectives. It encompasses economic, social,
cultural and technological aspects of a region. In the more recent years, entrepreneurship has sought
a wide acceptance as a discipline and as a domain of research. With the increased significance of
entrepreneurship, a parallel increase has also been witnessed in the significance of entrepreneurial
education. In Pakistan, the entrepreneurial education is still an alien discipline and it is no more than a
decade back that the Higher Education Commission (HEC) of Pakistan realized its importance with
the changing global trends and considered its incorporation in the higher education. However, still it is
just limited to a single or two subjects in the undergraduate and postgraduate Business Administration
degree programs. The main objective of this paper is to evaluate the potential role the entrepreneurial
education can play in the economic growth of Pakistan. The prospects of entrepreneurship education
are found to be higher in terms of economic growth. As a policy implication, the paper suggests the
incorporation of entrepreneurial education into the higher education as a single standing
specialization, for, it has a strong potential for the economic revitalization of Pakistan.
