The extent to which entrepreneurship education can affect either directly or indirectly students’ intentions to start a new business has become an issue of great relevance among scholars. Extensive review of the literature revealed that current practices in entrepreneurship education are in the direction to enhance students’ confidence and induce self-belief mentality in their capabilities to start a new business (Zhao, Seibert, & Hills, 2005; Souitaris, Zerbinati, & Al-Laham, 2007; Izuierdo & Buelens, 2008). This studies show that this mechanism is associated with entrepreneurial self-efficacy and attitude. Previous research have argued that among other variables, perceptions of formal learning from entrepreneurship-related courses are expected to have a positive influence on intentions especially through the mediation of entrepreneurial self-efficacy and attitude. This study was set to firstly identify the extent to which entrepreneurship education affects entrepreneurial intentions and secondly through the mediation of entrepreneurial self-efficacy and attitude. The drive towards economic development and self-reliance has necessitated the need for stakeholders, such as educational instructors, policy makers, institutional training authorities and educational providers to understand the influence of entrepreneurship education, on entrepreneurial self-efficacy, attitude and on entrepreneurial intentions. The knowledge of this assist in formulating and implementing more effective and robust entrepreneurial education programmes and designing of entrepreneurship curricula that will help to equip students with the skills required to spur entrepreneurial intentions towards the identification of investment opportunity in entrepreneurship creation. This study used simple random sampling of undergraduates students of Covenant University. Structural equation modeling was used to validate the proposed model while multiple regression was used test the hypothesis raised in the study. The theoretical and managerial implications of the results were discussed. This study contributes to the body of knowledge in theory building in entrepreneurship. Recommendations were made for policy and decision makers in entrepreneurship.
