Ever since the global financial crisis, the Korean government has been strongly encouraging universities and research institutes in Korea to engage in venture start-ups hoping to strengthen the nation s competitiveness, to foster high-tech industrial development, and to stabilize the job market amid of slowing economy. Contrary to what is hoped, universities in Korea appeared to focus more on the quantitative growth in start-ups than the qualitative one. In this study, the researchers try to evaluate the entrepreneurship competency of Korean universities. Based on the previous studies and surveys, an assessment tool for the measurement of university entrepreneurship competency was developed. The university‘ entrepreneurship competency index are composed of four(4) main areas of plan, operation, infra, and action. They are divided into thirteen(13) sub-areas, and thirty-nine(39) indicators. The researchers developed and used questionnaires to conduct the survey. To do so, AHP was used first to prove its validity. After measuring university’s entrepreneurship competency, competency index for Korean universities is computed.
