Abstract: Entrepreneurship tendency is a tendency that is influenced by an individual's environment, education, social environment, demographic characteristics. It is determined by these components’ relations between one another. This tendency shows difference even between the students who take entrepreneurship course and those who do not. In this study, 400 university students were asked various questions about entrepreneurship characteristics and trends. The study was conducted with university students residing in the province of Gaziantep. The aim is to identify the factors that cause the entrepreneurial tendency of the students and to reveal entrepreneurship traits. As a result of research, it has been revealed that there is a relationship between the lifestyle, gender, style of education, family income, level of education of the family and the entrepreneurship tendency. Comparing the students who took entrepreneurship course with those who did not, it turned out that there is no difference in terms of entrepreneurship tendency.
