<![CDATA[Capital education is an essential component in preparing students to face the workforce and the dynamic demands of modern economic development. Understanding various forms of capital including human capital, social capital, intellectual capital, and skill-based capital serves as a foundation for students to enhance their competence and competitiveness. This study aims to identify students’ perceptions of the importance of capital education in higher education and to examine the factors influencing their levels of understanding. The research employed a quantitative descriptive approach using questionnaires distributed to students from various study programs. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics to illustrate students’ perceptions regarding the value, benefits, and urgency of capital education. The results indicate that most students hold positive perceptions and recognize the importance of capital education for self-development, academic success, and readiness to enter the workforce. However, the study also found that the implementation of capital education in higher education remains suboptimal, particularly in strengthening practical skills and expanding academic social networks. In conclusion, capital education needs to be reinforced through curriculum improvement, practical activities, and more applicable self-development programs. It is recommended that higher education institutions enhance facilities, learning approaches, and collaboration with industry partners to maximize the role of capital education for students.]]>
