This study analyzed the impact of entrepreneurship education and related activities and role models on entrepreneurial intentions among university students. The results of an empirical study of 359 science, engineering, and business administration students in Korea and China revealed a significant inverted U-shaped effect of entrepreneurship education and related behaviors on entrepreneurial intentions. This finding suggests that while a certain level of entrepreneurship-related education or activities positively influences entrepreneurial intentions, beyond a certain level, the impact becomes negative. Furthermore, role models showed a significant positive relationship with entrepreneurial intentions. Furthermore, the relationship between entrepreneurship education and related activities and entrepreneurial intentions showed some significant differences across countries and majors. Based on these findings, this study proposes implications for university students' entrepreneurial intentions, limitations, and future research directions.
