Abstract: In the last two decades, entrepreneurship education has grown significantly—the growth of entrepreneurship education points to the need for entrepreneurship to achieve higher economic growth. While the number of entrepreneurship education programs are growing, its impacts are under-researched in Pakistan, and studies paint an ambiguous picture of the impact of entrepreneurial education. Different theories support entrepreneurship economic influence to explain the relationship between entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial intentions through the theory of planned behavior since it provides the most information on the process of intention formation for entrepreneurship. This research aimed to explore the impact of entrepreneurial education on entrepreneurial intentions among business students in Pakistan. The 150 business students responded to the survey through self-administered questionnaires. The structural equation modeling (SEM) revealed that entrepreneurship education significantly positively influenced business students' entrepreneurial intentions. In addition, this study furnishes several future directions for academic scholars and participation.
