Abstract: OBJECTIVE- The study objective was to determine the effects of cognitive-behavioural group guidance on entrepreneurial intention among university sandwich education students. MATERIALS & METHOD- The design of the study was a group randomized trial involving pretest and posttest, while the area of the study was a federal university in South-East Nigeria. Entrepreneurial Intention Questionnaire (EIQ) was used for data collection while the data collected were analysed through analysis of covariance with repeated measures. RESULTS- The results indicated that there was no significant difference between the participants’ entrepreneurial intention in the treatment and no-treatment control groups at the initial measure; and that after cognitive-behavioural group guidance intervention, there was a significant increase in entrepreneurial intention among the participants in the treatment group comparing to their counterparts in the no-treatment control group. CONCLUSION- Cognitive-behavioural group guidance was effective in increasing entrepreneurial intention among university sandwich education students. It was therefore concluded that counsellors should adopt the techniques used in the study to help individuals increase their entrepreneurial intention, and that cognitive-behaviour group guidance should be adopted as counselling approach for helping university students develop intentions to venture into entrepreneurial business.
