The population of this research was 299 faculty members of the faculties of Engineering, Management, and Entrepreneurship of the University of Tehran, and 271 respondents completed the questionnaires. The University Entrepreneurial Scorecard of Gibb (2012) was used for data collection, and data analysis was conducted using the SPSS software. The results indicate that the components of the entrepreneurial university, including concept vision, mission strategy, governance, organization design, multidisciplinary–transdisciplinary, leverage, public value and stakeholder engagement, alumni, knowledge transfer, incubation, across all departmental spin-offs venture funding were relatively good. However, internationalization and enterprise entrepreneurship education were in unfavorable conditions.
