EXAMINING THE ENTREPRENEURIAL ATTITUDES OF BUSINESS STUDENTS: THE IMPACT OF PARTICIPATION IN THE SMALL BUSINESS INSTITUTE ®

Students enrolled in the Small Business Institute (SBI) at several universities completed the Entrepreneurial Attitudes Orientation survey. A pre-post test design was used to determine if participation in the course affected students’ entrepreneurial attitudes. Past research suggests that an entrepreneurial drive can be developed, and that a central focus of entrepreneurship education should be the development of positive attitudes. Results strongly supported the notion that completion of the SBI had a major impact on students’ entrepreneurial attitudes. Furthermore, it was found such that women’s attitudes were more likely to be strengthened than were males’.
