The impact of social entrepreneurship education on students' competencies and intentions: a systematic review

Abstract

As it has only been three decades since the first social entrepreneurship course was taught at Harvard University, research in the field of social impact education is extremely recent. Through a systematic review of the literature in the field, we aim to highlight through empirical evidence the impact that social entrepreneurship education has on students' competencies and intentions to start a social venture. To this end, 23 articles published until September 2023 in the Web of Science and Scopus databases were reviewed. The results of our analysis lead to the formulation of benchmarks for improving research in the field.
