Abstract

Entrepreneurship education aims at developing not only knowledge and skills for entrepreneurial activity, but also the change of attitude toward entrepreneurship as a way of acting and thinking. Starting from the assumption that higher education is the basis for further professional affirmation and bearing in mind the importance of entrepreneurship
for the development of the economy and society, entrepreneurial education should have a very important place in the study programs of higher education institutions. The objective of the subject research is to examine the representation of entrepreneurial education in higher education programs in Bosnia and Herzegovina, to determine the structure and content of the current curricula and to give a brief overview of the methods and techniques used in teaching. Additionally, opinions of business studies students about entrepreneurial education and entrepreneurship, in terms of interest in programs aimed at strengthening entrepreneurial competencies, were examined, as well as the evaluation of these programs by students, in terms of to which extent they assess the importance and usefulness education for entrepreneurship The existing study programs at business-oriented colleges at public universities in Bosnia and Herzegovina include numerous subjects that, in different ways, address the problems of entrepreneurship. However, education and education programs
show weaknesses in terms of insufficient orientation to practice and the inaccessibility of these programs to some students.
