Abstract :Entrepreneurship is one of the key elements of the success and development of business. Educating and developing of entrepreneurs have become increasingly important in today’s business world. In many universities without making a faculty or department distinction there are lots of entrepreneurship courses. At this point researchers have a curiosity about how the students evaluate the course as the direct consumer of it. In this study to search of this curiosity we used qualitative content analysis. To this end we made structured interview with 68 E-MBA and undergraduate students who took this lesson in university, the number of participants 36 and 32 respectively. One of the most significant results is long term orientation among the undergraduate students. Most of the undergraduate students stated that this entrepreneurship course should diffuse throughout the university education. Especially business students believe that in these four year period this course should be gradually given by the professors. On the other hand E-MBA students have more pragmatist tendency than the undergraduates. Since they have business experiences most of the students have inclination to meet practitioners and to get their experiences from the first hand. Is It Possible To Develop Entrepreneurship Course From E-Mba And Undergraduate Students Perspective?
