ABSTRACT This study analyses the internal and external factors affecting university student's intention on choosing to be entrepreneurs. With the high rate of unemployment in the Philippines, understanding what drives a student to become an entrepreneur is crucial. This study examines various variables that contribute to entrepreneurship intention of university students. In the survey questionnaire, students are asked to indicate their level of agreement with the statements using a 5-point Likert scale. There were 392 students surveyed from Foundation University, Silliman University, Saint Paul University Dumaguete, and Negros 0riental State University. The study showed that entrepreneurial education is a strong internal factor in strengthening intention while family support is a necessary external factor that can influence entrepreneurial intention. A regression was then executed to determine whether there are significant relationships between the internal and external factors toward entrepreneurial intention. The study will help policy makers, academic institution, and teachers, among others understand the behavior of students so as to create and implement favorable policies, curriculum initiation and module implementation to encourage entrepreneurial activities within the rural and urban areas in the country.
