The purpose of this quantitative study was to examine how entrepreneurship education serves as the means of improving the economic growth of a nation through job creation ventures. Descriptive statistical methods were used to analyze the data obtained from 100 participants who were graduates from University of Professional Studies, Accra, who studied entrepreneurship courses and graduated from 2005 to 2010. The findings revealed that most entrepreneurship graduates establish their own business ventures. It was established that the teaching mode of the entrepreneurial courses at the universities should be reviewed to enhance experiential learning for the full benefit of using entrepreneurship education as a tool for economic development to be realized. It was also realized from the study that most students study the course because it is perceived to be the most appropriate means to job creation that enables students to become effective entrepreneurs.
