This study aims to assess the trends of entrepreneurship education research in higher education between 1993 and 2022 using bibliometric analysis. A total of 1309 seminal articles were identified from the Scopus database and used advanced bibliometrix tools for analysis. The research findings revealed that the United States and the United Kingdom had taken the lead in entrepreneurship education research. Notably, author Bell R emerged as a prominent figure in this field. By scrutinizing the articles, it was also evident that keywords such as entrepreneurship education, business education, entrepreneurship, entrepreneurial intention, and entrepreneurial education hold significance within the domain. The insights gleaned from this analysis suggest valuable strategic information to researchers and aid them in formulating and mapping out future studies in entrepreneurship education.
