<![CDATA[Objective: Despite the growing emphasis on entrepreneurship education as a solution to employment challenges, its impact on entrepreneurial intention remains inconsistent, with limited attention to contextual moderators such as social support in developing economies like Indonesia. This study aims to examines the influence of Entrepreneurship Education (EE) on Entrepreneurial Intention (EI) among Indonesian undergraduate students and investigates and to investigate the moderating role of Social Support (SS). Method: The research method employs a quantitative approach using 767 undergraduate students who have completed at least one entrepreneurship-related course. Data were analyzed using PLS-SEM, independent samples t-tests, and Kruskal-Wallis tests to explore differences across gender, field of study, and cohort. The key results indicate that EE has a positive and significant effect on EI. Results: However, the moderating effect of SS is significant but negative, suggesting that higher perceived social support weakens the influence of EE on EI. The key findings also reveal that male students exhibit higher EI than female students, business students score higher in both EE and EI than non-business students, and students’ perceptions evolve across academic cohorts. Novelty: The novelty of this study lies in identifying the counterintuitive moderating role of social support, which weakens rather than strengthens the EE–EI relationship. The contribution of this study enriches the entrepreneurship education literature by providing a deeper understanding of contextual and demographic factors influencing entrepreneurial intention in the Indonesian higher education context.]]>
