Abstract
This study was carried out to assess the attitude of tertiary students towards entrepreneurship education in
Ghana.The study further assessed whether there is a significant difference in respondents’ attitude towards
entrepreneurship education from gender and marital status perspective. Purposive sampling was used to
solicit data and information from 788 students from a tertiary institution in Ghana. Descriptive statistics and
inferential statistics were used to analyse the data with the help of SPSS software. Results of the study
revealed that respondents exhibit positive attitude towards entrepreneurship education. The gender variable
does not display statistically significant difference with regards to the respondents’ attitude towards
entrepreneurship education. However, the result of the t-test revealed statistically significant difference
between married and singly respondents with respect to their attitude towards entrepreneurship education. In
conclusion, students generally exhibit positive attitude toward entrepreneurship education and the unmarried
students are more likely to go into entrepreneurship compared to married students. Thus, the
entrepreneurship should be developed in a way that it can support unmarried students even after school.
