Abstract

Learning about entrepreneurship is very widespread in the world of education, one of which is at the level of higher education, especially in Indonesia. This can be seen from the existence of one of the Independent Learning Campus (MBKM) programs initiated by the Ministry of Education and Culture (Mendikbud) regarding entrepreneurship. This program encourages campuses to integrate entrepreneurship courses into their curricula. During the process of forming this curriculum, campuses need to know the factors that encourage the desire to be entrepreneurial. This study aims to find out what factors encourage entrepreneurial intentions in undergraduate students. The number of respondents in the study amounted to 30 undergraduate students from province of South Sulawesi and East Java, Indonesia. This research method is a quantitative approach which is analyzed using PLS. Results of this study show that perceived desirability, locus of control, self-efficacy, and entrepreneurial education (universities courses support) are factors affecting entrepreneurial intention among undergraduates from province of South Sulawesi and East Java, Indonesia.
