Abstract

The survey has been conducted amongst students studying in the field of Economics and Administrative Sciences at a foundation university. The purpose of the survey is to show the entrepreneurial tendencies and entrepreneurship levels of the university students who are young entrepreneur candidates. The aim is also to test the validity and reliability of the entrepreneurship scale developed by Yılmaz and Sünbül (2008) and examine the structure of factors.

At the end of the survey, it was determined that the scale was valid and reliable. Furthermore, contrary to the previous surveys conducted for the students in state universities, it was seen that the students of foundation universities had higher levels of entrepreneurial tendencies.
