Abstract: Recognising the importance of entrepreneurial education in developing entrepreneurial intention, we review the contribution of entrepreneurial education to the entrepreneurial traits of undergraduate students. The entrepreneurial tendency is measured using entrepreneurial traits such as risk-taking propensity, motivation, locus of control, and creative tendency. The data collected from 216 undergraduate students using a questionnaire is the basis of the study. The entrepreneurial intention of students who completed the entrepreneurship course is compared with the entrepreneurial intention of students who have not completed the entrepreneurship course. The findings show that entrepreneurship education has not created a significant impact on the entrepreneurial tendency of students. Effective entrepreneurship education enables participants to have a clear understanding of entrepreneurship, build an entrepreneurial mindset, and learn how to start and operate business ventures. Although entrepreneurship education is offered to all enrolled students in HEIs, the instructional design, instructional materials, delivery plan, teaching, and assessment methods are not aligned and reviewed regularly to the outcome requirements. This study indicates the extent to which entrepreneurship education impacts entrepreneurial intention among students in Oman, and the necessary changes needed in the curriculum, instructional design, and assessment of entrepreneurial courses.
