The results indicated that there is a positive and significant relationship between the curriculum quality and entrepreneurial intentions (P<0.01). Entrepreneurial inspiration (P<0.01) and entrepreneurial creativity (P<0.01) also play a mediating role in this relationship. It is recommended that in the study of infrastructure of entrepreneurial purposes and in the educational and developmental policies, attention should be paid to curriculum quality in terms of connection with the industry.
