Sažetak
Entrepreneurial skills are necessary for all graduates who are planning their own start-up business. Those skills are asked more and more by employers, even from fresh graduates of technical backgrounds. This paper compares two extracurricular programs involving students of four different, all noneconomics programs from Croatia and the USA. Several challenges were identified during the research. Preparing and executing entrepreneurial educational programs for students with very uneven level of relevant foreknowledge was one of them. Integration of classroom and epsilon-learning methods and achievement of an effective combination of being educational, interesting and attractive in the same time were additional challenges. Gender of the participants, previous education, entrepreneurial background of their families and immediate plans upon the graduation were determined as influencing variables on their satisfaction with the program.
