Integrating Entrepreneurship Education across University-Wide Curricula: The Case of Two Public Universities in Tanzania
Kalimasi, Perpetua Joseph; Herman, Chaya
Industry and Higher Education, v30 n5 p344-354 Oct 2016
This qualitative case study explores the integration of entrepreneurship education (EE) across the curricula in two public universities in Tanzania. Based on Shapero's model of the entrepreneurial event, the feasibility and desirability of EE in the selected universities are analysed. In-depth interviews and document analysis were used for data collection. The findings show that cross-curricula EE remains limited, largely because its implementation does not fit the pedagogical needs of some disciplines. However, the study highlights the significant role of donor support in enhancing the feasibility of fostering EE across the curricula.
