Abstract	Entrepreneurialism in certain scientific fields is based on the premise that faculty have the primary responsibility for obtaining their own research funds and running their own laboratories (Etzkowitz, 1999). In addition, research in these applied disciplines is usually expensive and depends heavily on external funds, which opens the way for political and commercial intervention (Becher, 1989). Based on these trends, Slaughter and Leslie (1997) defined academic capitalism as the marketlike behaviors on the part of faculty and academic institutions in order to seek alternative sources of funding. Given the lack of knowledge about the impact of academic capitalism on the socialization of graduate students, this study investigated the cultural knowledge acquired through socialization processes of graduate students in departments heavily involved with academic capitalism to determine the degree to which their cultural knowledge has values associated with academic capitalism. In addition, this study aimed to investigate the impact of academic capitalism on the socialization of graduate students in light of the literature related to doctoral attrition. (ERIC).
