Abstract This paper analyses the effect of students' entrepreneurship education on entrepreneurial intentions in Morocco. The developed model suggests that entrepreneurial intention is supposed to depend on four variables, specifically: entrepreneurship education, attitude towards entrepreneurship, perceived social norms and perceived entrepreneurial capacity. We are using structural equation modeling (SEM-PLS) to test the proposed model, based on a sample of 98 management students from the Laayoune higher School of Technology. The findings indicate that there is a statistically significant relationship between management student's entrepreneurship education, attitude towards entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial intention. As a result, universities are invited to offer training modules in entrepreneurship in order to improve the level of students' entrepreneurial intent.
