The more important need for entrepreneurship education is how to cultivate the intention or interest of students to engage in the entrepreneurial career. Entrepreneurship education needs to be more structured and effective to foster an entrepreneurial culture among students. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of the Entrepreneurial Career Intention Program (ECIP) in one of private higher learnings in Malaysia. This program uses a module develop from the integration Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). The results showed that the program showed differences in intention scores according to time and also differences by the group.
