The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between entrepreneurship levels of students attending school of physical education and sports and some variables and to determine entrepreneurship levels. In accordance with this purpose, target population of the study are students receiving education in the departments of coaching, sport management, and recreation in Esenyurt, Haliç, Gedik, and Gelişim University. The sample is composed of volunteer students determined by simple random sampling method (n=778). Volunteers were asked to apply the entrepreneurship scale and sociodemographic information developed by Yilmaz and Sünbül (2009). The obtained data was recorded with IBM SPSS 22 package. As statistical analysis, Mann Whitney U and Kruskal Wallis analysis were used. Consequently, a statistically significant difference is found between entrepreneurship level and gender, university and sport history. No significant difference is found between entrepreneurship level and age. This can be attributed to factors such as the difference between the theoretical and practical courses that students have taken during their education, the differences in opportunities introduced to the students for their realization, the level of development of the place they live, the orientation of the students by their universities to relevant sports administrations during their undergraduate education.
