Taking StanfordUniversity for an example, the entrepreneurship education has built a complete curriculumsystem, a rich variety of extra-curricular entrepreneurial activity, cultivate professionalteachers of the field of entrepreneurship education and build advanced business educationmode and evaluation system.

Such as lacking of theknowledge of entrepreneurship education concept, having not built up a complete curriculum,being short of professional teachers, having little influence in the practice and educate aspects,not making full use of social support systems and paying little attention to the rending theatmosphere of entrepreneurship education.For some problems in the implementation of entrepreneurship education in colleges anduniversities in our country, basing on the relatively mature theories and practical experienceof the entrepreneurship education in Stanford University, there are some concrete and feasibleinnovation countermeasures. In the aspect of curriculum system, the reform of the educationsystem is needed to deepen to construct of a multi-level entrepreneurship educationalcurriculum system. In the aspect of the teaching staff, the construction of cultivatingprofessional teachers in this special field is needed to be strengthened, work along both linesto create high-quality teams of teachers. In the aspect of practice, the construction of thepractice platform for entrepreneurship education can be improved to create a new educationplatform. In the aspect of social support system, the cooperation should be strengthenedamong colleges enterprises and government to impel the establishment of an entrepreneurialeducation alliance, which can support entrepreneurship education in the multi-direction andcreate a good entrepreneurial atmosphere, in order to provide theoretic support for carryingout entrepreneurship education further in the domestic colleges and universities andcultivating new talent for innovation entrepreneurship to provide theoretical support.
