Abstract

Objective: The study attempts to extend the current understanding of entrepreneur-ship education by engaging the entrepreneurial mindset, knowledge, and the intention to be an entrepreneur. The second purpose is to highlight through testing the moderating role of entrepreneurial knowledge on the relationship between entrepreneurial education and students’ intention to be entrepreneurs.
