The study was to assess the entrepreneurial future intention of student in three selected universities. Intention towards entrepreneurship was measured through three dimensions of entrepreneurship, i.e. family business background, perceived desirability and perceived self efficacy. The sample consisted of 405 graduating class students, from which 135 students from Hawassa University and 135 students from Dilla University and the remaining 135 students are from Arbaminch University were collected through a questionnaire. The results indicated that there is positive relationship between the dimensions of entrepreneurship and intention towards entrepreneurship among university students. Moreover, the two dimensions of entrepreneurship, i.e. family business background and perceived self-efficacy explain the variation on students’ intention to start a new venture.
