Chemistry is a utility course filled with a lot of business opportunities. It enlightens students on various kinds of business opportunities during their course of study. This paper therefore assessed the business ideas generated by undergraduate chemistry students during the course of their study.  The investigation was carried out using descriptive research of the survey type. Percentage, mean and standard deviation were used to answer the research questions. Two hundred (200) Chemistry undergraduates from University of Ilorin were sample for this study. The results of the study revealed that; Chemistry undergraduates had moderately positive attitude towards adoption of entrepreneurial activities; Chemistry undergraduates displayed moderately positive attitude towards adoption of entrepreneurial skills which can be started with little capital and require low technical know-how; The product most chemistry undergraduate proposed to produce after graduation is soap. More so, Chemistry undergraduates are business oriented and high percentage of them will probably pursue business upon completion of their study.
