This research sought to find the answer to this question: What factors are involved in the development and promulgation of entrepreneurship in universities? This study began with the identification of the barriers and the factors involved in the development and promulgation of entrepreneurship in universities and it finally ended with the practical guidelines to promote the entrepreneurship among university graduates. The research population included faculty members in all branches of IAU in zone 8. The sampling was performed through cluster random sampling method and 600 participants were selected. Data collection was carried out through administering a 20-item questionnaire which was arranged based on Likert scale. The validity was measured through expert opinion and Cronbach a was applied to calculate the internal consistency of the items (a=0.79). Descriptive and inferential statistics (Chi Square) were used to analyze the data. The findings of the study were as follows: provoking the university graduates to think about entrepreneurship could be effective in its development. Moreover, technical and practical training in entrepreneurship was of great impact on its development. This research also indicated that introducing the opportunities for entrepreneurship in university could influence a raise in the funds to develop professional and entrepreneurial capabilities. It, furthermore, showed that the current training in university could rarely help to reinforce the motivation for entrepreneurship and the preparation to burden the responsibility in a profession. It finally concluded that the development of entrepreneurship among the students depended, to many extent, upon the development of their entrepreneurial behavior through the promulgation, training, support and discovering the talented students in entrepreneurship.
