Abstrakt: This study assessed the propensity for agripreneurship among the students of Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta. 150 final year students of agriculture in the University were selected using the multistage sampling methods and questionnaire was used to gather data while descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyse the data. Majority (68.1%) of the students were male, 66.0% had no prior rural experience. Students had high propensity for agripreneurship (x = 53.29) with Curriculum in agriculture adjudged as moderately satisfying agripreneurial needs (x < 2.0). Sex (χ² = 12.196, p < 0.05) and students' satisfaction with the university training curriculum (χ² = 46.626, p< 0.05) had significant relationship with propensity for agripreneurship. It is recommended that the quality of curriculum should be improved to meet students' agripreneurship development needs while also making agriculture more attractive through improved access to capital and rural infrastructure.
