Abstract.
The purpose of the study was to determine context evaluation of undergraduate
entrepreneurship education degree program of universities in Rivers state. The
study adopted the CIPP model of evaluation developed by Stufflebeen (1971). The
population for the study consist of 1250 respondents made up of 68 lecturers and 1182
undergraduate students of entrepreneurship education degree program. A sample
size of 375 denoting 30% of the population was randomly selected and used for the
study. Two research questions and two null hypotheses guided the study. The
instrument for data collection was a structured questionnaire with 14 item statements. The instruments were validated by three experts. The consistency and
reliability of the instrument used was assured using the split-half method to determine
the degree of reliability which yielded a correlation co-efficient of 0.72. Mean and
standard deviation were used to answer the research questions, while Z-test
inferential statistics was used to test the null hypotheses. The findings of the study
revealed that the objectives and quality of students at the point of entry in terms of
admission requirement in the chosen universities are adequate and meet the required
minimum academic standard of the National Universities Commission. Based on the
discussion of findings, it was recommended amongst others that universities offering
undergraduate entrepreneurship education degree program should ensure that
the admission policy of the program is maintained.
