- Abstract
This article examines three articles, "The Growth and Advancement of Entrepreneurship in Higher Education: An Environmental Scan," prepared by the Kauffman Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership Staff; "The Contribution of Entrepreneurship Education: An Analysis of the Berger Program," by Alberta H. Charney and Gary D. Libecap; and "Impact of Entrepreneurship Education," also by Charney and Libecap. The Kauffman staff article is a simple inventory of programs and funding growth across the U.S. It displays a wealth of statistics on the size of entrepreneurship and small business education programs. According to this report, the growth of collegiate entrepreneurship programs appears to be nothing less than phenomenal, from only 16 programs in 1970 to nearly 2000 colleges and universities offering some entrepreneurship training in 2004--three fourths of these programs being added in the last decade alone. In the next two articles, Charney and Libecap take a very different look at the issue of impact, attempting to assess the learning and employment of alumni of the Berger Entrepreneurship Program at the University of Arizona. Graduates of the entrepreneurship program were compared with graduates of other programs at the University of Arizona in a research design that attempted to isolate the impact of a Berger Program education from other factors.
