Abstract

The effect that a university course about the study of experiences in entrepreneurship on Entrepreneurial Intention (EI) of the students was analyzed. Entrepreneurial Intention is considered a prerequisite for the decision to start a business. The increasing number of studies on EI reflects the importance assigned to this subject. The participants of the study are students belonging to a business studies school of a Chilean university. The research followed a methodology available in the literature that states that demographic variables, perceived capacity and educational level help in explaining the EI. The results of the study show that in the overall, entrepreneurial intention was negatively affected by the course. However, it was found that students who experienced the greatest change in their willingness to start a business were those who possessed two characteristics: they believed to have the necessary knowledge, skills and experience to start a new business, and belong to low income families.
