The study involved 74 students accidentally selected from the faculty of arts. Ex-post facto design was used for the study. A well validated instrument, students' opinion questionnaire was used for data collection. The reliability of the studies was ascertained using Cronbatch Alpha Correlation Co-efficient. Pearson Product Moment Correlation Co-efficient was used for data analysis. The .05 level of significant was used to statistically test each hypothesis. The result showed a statistically significant relationship between undergraduate students' perception of Art course content curriculum outcomes and entrepreneurial skills.
