Objective: This study aims to evaluate one of Algeria's key strategies for developing an entrepreneurial culture among university students in higher education, which is entrepreneurial education. It analyzes the number of files submitted by university students through the National Agency for the Support and Development of Entrepreneurship from 2013 to 2020, as well as the statistics on students who participated in the Entrepreneurship House from 2013 to 2019. Methods: The study evaluates entrepreneurial education as a strategy for fostering an entrepreneurial culture among university students in Algeria, based on the number of files submitted for establishing micro-enterprises at the National Agency for the Support and Development of Entrepreneurship. It also assesses the outcomes of activities promoting entrepreneurship by entrepreneurship centers in higher education institutions in 2019. Results: The statistics reveal that Algeria’s experience in teaching entrepreneurship in higher education is both recent and weak. This weakness is due to the limited role of educational programs in business plan preparation and their inability to keep up with scientific advancements. These programs also fail to equip students with the necessary knowledge, skills, and capabilities to start their own projects or invest in opportunities for small business creation. Conclusions: Developing an entrepreneurial culture in universities requires collaboration across various efforts. This includes the Entrepreneurship House, which connects students to the economic environment through awareness and training, university business incubators that provide support and funding, and student clubs and research labs that foster an entrepreneurial culture within the academic setting.
