Abstract Social entrepreneurship is one of the most important and influential ideas in the past few years, and its appearance has a strong influence on the teaching ideas and practice of every prestigious university. However, as the concept of social entrepreneurship is ambiguous and is intertwined with business entrepreneurship, people have some misunderstanding about the nature of social entrepreneurship, which even makes a major problem perplexing social entrepreneurship. It is difficult to distinguish social entrepreneurship from business entrepreneurship as there is a lot of overlap between these two concepts and we can even say that any effort to draw a clear line between them is in vain. Social entrepreneurship education is a new beginning for American research universities, where students are encouraged to actively participate in social affairs and social changes and teachers also actively respond to social entrepreneurship, and cooperate with entrepreneurial organizations to solve social problems, which has actually become a new trend. From the examples of the entrepreneurship activities of American college students, we find it is really worthwhile to involve social entrepreneurship education in college.
