Using a quantitative approach and PLS-SEM analysis on 278 students from 11 Indonesian universities, the findings reveal that entrepreneurial education significantly enhances passion and mindset but does not directly affect entrepreneurial intention. Entrepreneurial passion shows a significant positive effect on intention, whereas entrepreneurial mindset does not. Additionally, neither variable mediates the relationship between education and intention. These results highlight the need for more experiential, action-oriented, and contextually relevant entrepreneurship education capable of transforming passion and mindset into concrete entrepreneurial intentions.
