A survey was conducted to investigate the factors associated with entrepreneurial spirit. Specifically, the objective of the study was to determine whether students with entrepreneurship education experience are more likely to report positive entrepreneurial spirit or vice versa. Data was collected from 2 groups of students, where the total number of respondents were seven hundred and twenty nine students. The first group comprised of students who are currently enrolled in a subject emphasizing the entrepreneurship component, and the other group of students is those who had not been exposed to entrepreneurship component. Findings indicated that students who have business entrepreneurship exposure scored higher means in all constructs associated with entrepreneurial spirit. The three main predictors of entrepreneurial spirits were attitude toward entrepreneurial career, entrepreneurial self efficacy and perceived behavior control. The study suggests that students need to conduct self evaluation to determine their entrepreneurial spirit.
