Addressing the motives that drive individuals to opt for entrepreneurship is relevant because we can shed lights on the process of how a person becomes a successful entrepreneur. This knowledge is applicable to entrepreneur’s formation, a task in which students require help in aspects such as: perceived convenience, perceived viability, whether the cultural values and beliefs promote entrepreneurship as a lifestyle. This study offers a perspective upon entrepreneurship intention in students enrolled in the first and the fourth year of Industrial Engineering at Universidad Católica Santa María la Antigua (USMA). Our aim was to assess entrepreneurship intention and perceptions about factors that contribute toward entrepreneurship, in order to explore if these are related to the year enrolled. Participants were tested with a questionnaire that included the Entrepreneurial Self-Efficacy Scale, and information from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor. Results show that fourth-year students have a higher level of entrepreneurship self-efficacy, while first-year students have better attitudes towards entrepreneurship.
