Abstract: Entrepreneurship is important to the development of economy as well as employment. College students are the new force of entrepreneurship. College students from agricultural universities being engaged in agriculture-related entrepreneurship is an important way to alleviate the three rural problems and improve human capital in the agricultural industry. By using the questionnaire analysis method, we made a multi-factor analysis of college students' entrepreneurial choices who are coming from agricultural colleges. According to the research results, the proportion of agricultural colleges who choose agricultural entrepreneurship is less than 1/4 and the proportion of students major in agriculture who choose agricultural entrepreneurship is also only 41.4%. It is gratifying that the cross-analysis shows that there is a correlation between the agricultural professional background and the choice of agricultural industry. Based on this, agricultural colleges and universities need to pay enough attention to how to guide students, especially agricultural majors, to engage in agricultural-related entrepreneurship through entrepreneurship education, and create an atmosphere of learning and loving farming.

Key words: Entrepreneurship of college students, Choice of agriculture-related entrepreneurship, Agriculture-related entrepreneurship policy, Entrepreneurship education
