Abstract

The background of this research is the lack of graduates who dare to start entrepreneurial activities. The interest in student entrepreneurship is still lacking. The increase in the number of undergraduate graduates who are not comparable to the capacity of work available in the company will become a national problem resulting in many educated unemployed. The world of education, especially universities, has educated students and prepared graduates to study entrepreneurship and make entrepreneurship a part of the curriculum offered, but efforts to incorporate entrepreneurship education into the college curriculum are not always balanced by students' intention to do business. The purpose of this study is to describe the actual conditions of the determinants that influence students 'entrepreneurial interests and form a method of approach to increase students' entrepreneurial interest in overcoming intellectual unemployment. This research will be conducted at six Private Economics Faculties in Medan City. This study uses a descriptive approach, primary data obtained from questionnaires of 100 selected respondents. This study concludes that partially internal factors influence the interests of entrepreneurship a lot, while external and contextual factors do not affect. Simultaneously the three variables, namely internal, external, and contextual, have an influence on the interest in entrepreneurship, but the effect is very small, which is only 15.8%, meaning that in general the interests of entrepreneurs are relatively low.
