The role of entrepreneurship over the last few decades has constantly been growing for a number of reasons. This is accompanied by a growing number of students choosing fields of study where entrepreneurship education is an indispensable part of the curriculum, such as business studies or management. Efficiency of entrepreneurship education, often measured by entrepreneurship intentions revealed by students, is examined in numerous papers. Only a handful of them, however, pay attention to differences between various fields of study. Those differences in entrepreneurial attitudes of students enrolled for different studies may possibly be a result of dissimilar impact of entrepreneurship education combined with their core education (science, art, business, etc.). It is also possible that those differences may come from the initial choice of the field of studies; supposedly students of management may be of a more entrepreneurial nature than their non-ma-nagerial counterparts and that is why they choose this field of studies. The authors of this article decided to fill in the existing gap by checking whether students-beginners enrolled for management studies are in fact more entrepreneurial than students who enrolled onto other - non-managerial - fields of study.
