Recently, entrepreneurship has been a compulsory course of study in all Nigerian universities. This is with a view to encouraging the students to choose careers that will make them entrepreneurs/self-employed rather than looking for paid-employment. This study examined the impact of entrepreneurship education on career intention among final year students in the University of Lagos. A multi-stage sampling technique was adopted and 368 questionnaires were analysed. Descriptive statistics and Ordinary Least Squares were used to analyse the data. The result showed that entrepreneurship education has no significant impact on career intention of students. Rather, students who desired to be entrepreneurs/self-employed have their parents, friends or family members who had motivated them or they have a will power to do so.
