The labor market is an important catalyst for the development of entrepreneurship courses. The author has studied entrepreneurship programs at 9 universities in Thailand, comparing the similarities and differences among the courses. This study also takes into consideration the socio-economic conditions in Thailand at present and future trends. As a result, three challenges for future entrepreneurship programs at the high-education level in Thailand have been identified: (1) the study model of online learning in conjunction with classroom teaching is required, (2) the course management should recognize the value of the degree, and (3) efficiency of start-up space.
