A cross sectional survey of 400 level (the study group) and 100 level (control group) students was undertaken eliciting responses through an instrument that has Cronbach alpha reliability coefficient value of 0.729, 0.761 and 0.605 for Entrepreneurial Spirit (ESP), Entrepreneurial Skill (ES) and Entrepreneurial Behaviour (EB) respectively.. It was found that there is a significant difference between the study group and the control group in terms of their EB as result of their level of exposure to EE. The study group show more demonstration of business formation and intention to do so more than the control group in both institutions. The academic level of students in both universities, as a result of various learning exposures predicted the EB observed. The institutions and differences in the nomenclature of the courses offered did not predict differences in EB among the study group between the two universities. The study established that EE can drive EB among universities' undergraduate's and make them create employment after graduation; it is the students exposure to variety of entrepreneurial learning that matters and not the institutions. Institutional and the 'town' support including policy action on entrepreneurship is advocated for EE in universities. These will translate to self-employment, reduce youth unemployment and bring about sustainable social and economic development. | | Keywords: Entrepreneurial Behaviour, Entrepreneurship Education, Entrepreneurial Skill, Entrepreneurial Spirit, Self-employment | References:
