Abstract: Kenya has had a considerably high rate of unemployment among young universities graduates. This is despite the continued government's efforts to develop and promote entrepreneurship culture among graduates as a strategy to deal with the unemployment problem by changing their minds to venture into business than seeking formal jobs upon graduation.. The universities provide a conducive learning environment that motivates students to develop entrepreneurial intention before and after graduation. However University graduates continue to wander around in search of formal jobs despite the entrepreneurial training that they went through in the universities. Three theories were used to address the influence of University learning environment on entrepreneurship intentions.....
