The influence of entrepreneurial studies on the passion of students and the image of tertiary institutions has a positive and progressive effect on post-training career choice. This current work as designed, examined the effect of entrepreneurship development studies on the reputation of tertiary institutions in Nigeria. In line with this assertion, two hundred and thirty (230) students from Covenant and Bell`s Universities in Ogun State were purposively random sampled. Regression analysis was used in authenticating the hypothesis. Findings inferred that Curriculum content affects research output of institutions and as well teaching approach enhances corporate reputation positively. It was recommended that Institutions should ensure that entrepreneurial education are course agnostic and also take on steps to begin teaching entrepreneurial skills not just for the sake of improving their corporate image, but also to create really empowered entrepreneurs who in turn would power the economy with skills and knowledge acquired through learning.
