This study is motivated by the low interest of students in entrepreneurship and the need to create graduates who are not only job seekers but also job creators. Student cooperatives serve as practical learning platforms that provide direct experience in managing businesses, improving managerial skills, and fostering independence and creativity. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the role of student cooperatives in increasing students’ entrepreneurial spirit. The research method used is a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collection techniques including observation, interviews, and documentation. The results show that student cooperatives function as a medium for entrepreneurship education, business practice, and character development. Therefore, student cooperatives can be an important factor in promoting sustainable entrepreneurial spirit among students.
