EDN: YMFVTD
Abstract
There is a result of the conducted research on the analysis of entrepreneurial curricula at the undergraduate and graduate level are indicated in the article. There was chosen Russian universities that announced curricula of this kind in which the following parameters were studied: the proportion of undergraduate programs of entrepreneurial education among all undergraduate programs; the proportion of graduate programs of entrepreneurial education among all graduate programs; the proportion of disciplines in the framework of entrepreneurial curricula focused on hard skills development; the proportion of disciplines in the framework of entrepreneurial curricula focused on soft skills development. The analysis shows: - Significant heterogeneity of the implemented programs of entrepreneurial education in terms of a balance of hard skills and soft skills; - The prevalence of hard skills, which largely contrasts with the general trends in the development of entrepreneurial education and the growing role of soft skills, noted by researchers and experts; - The limited scope of the implementation of the entrepreneurial curricula, the underdevelopment of the trajectories of entrepreneurial education in the segment of natural, scientific, social and technical fields of study. The article suggests recommendations on the development of entrepreneurial curricula based on the analysis done. The publication is of interest to researchers, teachers and experts in the field of enterprise development.
