Abstract
Entrepreneurship is the engine of economic growth within a country and innovation in the world. The purpose of this exploratory study was to understand the role education plays in an individual’s entrepreneurial intent, the precursor to entrepreneurial activity. This research also explores the differing impact that Entrepreneurial Education has on the different genders. This study utilizes a pre-test post-test design of business students (N=114) in a semester-long entrepreneurship class at faith-based institutions. Regression analysis indicated that the theory of planned behavior is valid for studying entrepreneurial intent at faith-based institutions and male student’s entrepreneurial intent did increase more than the female students. However, entrepreneurial education was not found to increase entrepreneurial intent.
