Abstract
The present study tested two models explaining how entrepreneurship education can have an effect of entrepreneurial intentions through its impact on attitudes and self-efficacy. Data were collected from 236 students who were exposed to an entrepreneurship course. While in Model 1, attitudes and self-efficacy are positively related to intentions to new venture creation, in Model 2, attitudes mediate between self-efficacy and intentions. Results indicate that attitudes have a stronger relationship with intentions in Model 2. Discussion and implications for future research are presented.
