Abstract College students’ innovative and entrepreneurial abilities are the core index to evaluate the quality of innovation and entrepreneurship education in colleges and universities. Establishing a scientific measurement scale for college students’ capabilities of innovation and entrepreneurship is the key to promoting the in-depth development of innovation and entrepreneurship education in colleges and universities. Based on self-development theory, our research team has created a structural model of college students’ innovative and entrepreneurial abilities with action characteristics. The model is supported by the adaptability of data. “The Measurement Scale for College Students’ Innovative and Entrepreneurial Abilities” based on the model has good reliability and validity. Through the data survey, it is found that the development of college students’ innovative and entrepreneurial abilities in China is generally in the middle level. Students lack the opportunity sensitivity and decision-making capability. In terms of the capacity development of different groups, men are higher than women, and students of science and engineering are higher than students of humanities and social sciences, academically successful students are higher than students with poor academic performance. In addition, three major findings of this research are valuable to be introduced. First, the level of universities does not have an obvious effect on the capability development. Second, the time of participating in students’ clubs and associations has a marginal effect on the capability development. Third, the capability development is not positively correlated to the promotion of students’ grades. The findings enlighten us that we should pay attention to the differences in discipline and gender when it comes to the development of college students’ innovative and entrepreneurial abilities. We should also pay special attention to the value-added effect of students’ experience in clubs and associations, and the functional mechanism of school types and grades on students’ innovative and entrepreneurial abilities.
