Abstract

The teaching and learning of entrepreneurship have become critical in accelerating entrepreneurship activity in South Africa. Appropriate education in entrepreneurship provides students with skills, knowledge, and opportunities for growth and development to prosper in the field of entrepreneurship. By examining activities in the Bachelor of Commerce's (BCom) Management Major, which embeds entrepreneurship learning, at the University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN), the chapter identifies gaps in its curricula design. It compares the Major with the principles that govern entrepreneurship education and curricula design theories. The chapter concludes that an appropriate curricula design for entrepreneurship development should foster learning that promotes entrepreneurship intention; it thus proposes a Management and Entrepreneurship Major that is more appropriate.
