This study uses quantitative methods. The data collection technique used the snowball technique. Data processing uses a statistical model of Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) with the help of SMART PLS software. The study found that Entrepreneurship education has a significant influence on Attitude Toward Behavior, Subjective Norms, Perceived Behavioral Control and entrepreneurial intentions. Attitude Toward Behavior has a a significant effect on entrepreneurial intentions. Subjective Norms and Perceived Behavioral Control has no significant effect on entrepreneurial intention.
