The primary purpose of the study was to determine how entrepreneurship education is supported in community colleges in the Midwestern state and to what extent those responsible for delivering entrepreneurship education programs perceive their efficacy on economic development and growth in local communities. The following research questions were addressed: 1) What perceived roles do Ohio community colleges play in promoting economic development and growth in local communities? 2) Do entrepreneurship education educators perceive their programs as fostering new venture creation in local communities? 3) What do entrepreneurship educators see as the contribution that community college entrepreneurship educators play in economic growth and development in Ohio communities? 4) Is there a difference in the perception of faculty members who teach in entrepreneurship programs when compared to the perceptions of the administrators of those programs?
