On the other hand, the entrepreneurial mindset has been proven to have a significant direct effect on students' entrepreneurial attitudes and motivations. Furthermore, the path analysis proves that entrepreneurial attitudes function as a variable that mediates entrepreneurship education on entrepreneurial motivation. Theory and Practical Implications – Practically, these results indicate that higher education institutions need to reorient the curriculum from theoretical to strengthening psychological aspects and forming positive attitudes of students. Academic policies should better integrate business incubator programs and practical training to stimulate students' real encouragement in entrepreneurship.
