Besides the increasing role of entrepreneurship in shaping economies and empowering people,\r\nthe question of fostering entrepreneurship among highly qualified individuals still remains\r\nopen topic. It has particular relevance both for improving university curricula and for designing\r\neducational and economic public policies. As it was previously demonstrated in literature,\r\nendogenous factors play an important role in shaping (entrepreneurial) individual attitudes.\r\nSeveral empirical researches proved that entrepreneurial education contribute to increasing\r\nstudents� interest for entrepreneurship and to enhancing competencies required or at least\r\nuseful in a potential entrepreneurial career. Addressing this topic, the present article relies on a\r\nsurvey-based research developed and conducted among doctoral students in different science\r\nfields from three public universities in Romania. We have investigated issues such as\r\nentrepreneurship as a career option, interest, intentions and realism of the option of entering\r\nentrepreneurship, personal determinants related to entrepreneurial approaches. The paper\r\npresents in its first part a review of the relevant literature. The second part presents the\r\nmethodology and the results, and the last part concludes and draws main implications for\r\nuniversities as to improve the curriculum and its efficacy in the case of doctoral study\r\nprograms.
