In many small island developing nations like The Bahamas, the traditional '9 to 5' job opportunities that accompany ones' successful completion of high school or college are scarce or competitive at best. These small developing nations have experience population growths that have almost doubled in the past decade, and in most instances, the population growth has out pasted job creation. This atmosphere has created a surplus of semi-skilled and skilled workers who crowd labor bureaus in search of job opportunities or many who migrate to other more developed nations in pursuit of their economic goals. Alternatively, this phenomenon has also created an environment to improve economic prosperity through individual creativity and innovative activities. Individuals engaged in these creative and innovative activities are entrepreneurs. This study explores the impact of entrepreneurship education on the entrepreneurial intentionality of students at the University of The Bahamas using the theoretical frameworks of Icek Ajzen (1991), Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), and Albert Bandura's (1977), Social Cognitive Learning Theory (SLT). More specifically, this exploratory investigation focuses on entrepreneurship education (EE) and the mediating impact of the antecedents of behavior: attitudes, subjective norms and perceived behavioral control (self-efficacy) on entrepreneurial intention (EI) The findings from this study show that there are positive statistically significant relationships between the constructs of TPB: attitude (A), subjective norms (SNs) and perceived behavioral control have (constructs of TPB) and entrepreneurial intention (EI) among students at the University of The Bahamas. Further findings indicate that the constructs PNC and SNs serve as mediators while A shows no mediation effect. This dissertation attempts to contribute to filling the gap of EI studies done on cross culture comparison by providing an empirically based foundation in which to analyze and generalize a small island developing nation like The Bahamas. Finally, the dissertation discusses both economic and policy implications as well as future study recommendations.
