This study applied the theory of planned behavior (TPB) to examine the impacts of
entrepreneurial education (curriculum and extra-curriculum education) on entrepreneurial
intention and entrepreneurial behavior of university students in the North Central Region,
Vietnam. The primary data was collected through a survey from 480 students in 08 universities
and only 450 responses were accepted. The results showed that extra-curriculum impacts on
students' entrepreneurial intention and behavior more than curriculum. This study showed
different impacts between gender and students rooted (business families and non-business
families) on entrepreneurial behavior. The study proposed specific policy implications to improve
entrepreneurial programs in universities.
