found allthree cost subscales were significantly and negatively related with students’ intentions to persistin science, with the effort subscale having the strongest negative relationship with persistence.Informed by Perez et al.’s evidence of potential multidimensionality of the cost construct, Flakeet al.21 developed a new cost scale intended for broader use in an academic context. Similar tothe scale developed by Perez and colleagues, Flake et al.’s scale included task effort, loss ofvalued alternatives cost, and emotional cost. Flake et al. also suggested a new dimension, thecost of outside efforts, related to other demands on an individuals’ time and energy that mayincrease the cost associated with a particular task.

, theprograms available to students clearly developed the skills and knowledge necessary for venturecreation. There seemed to be a gap between the cultivation of skills and knowledge for newventure creation and the engagement of students in actual new venture creation.Looking more broadly, this phenomenon does not seem to be limited to the University ofVirginia. According to data, the number of entrepreneurship programs offered at institutions ofhigher education has been skyrocketing since the 1970’s [1–3]. However, there has beeninsufficient evidence to support that an increase in traditional curricular entrepreneurshipeducation leads to an increase in venture creation [4,5].

S: Yes ma'am. R: Why do you think that is? S: We was all buddies and stuff. She let us choose groups. We got to choose our buddies. I felt comfortable because, you know, there was really no target answers. It was just an idea. R: Was there a time when there was any kind of disagreement in your group? S: Yes. One time me and this
