Abstract:
Preserving the stability of global economic competition is the main responsibility for every country in this industrial revolution 4.0 eras. Thus, all societies should contribute to the competition in order to prepare new generations that are able to compete. One of them is university, through their visions and missions. The economic competition cannot be separated from entrepreneurial problems. It is the background of this research with the aim to determine the factors that influence entrepreneurial interest for college students, especially for sports science students. In order to achieve the research objectives, this research identified the ability and self-potential, environmental factors and education policy as independent variables (free) and entrepreneurial interests of students as the dependent variable (bound). The samples of this study were sport science students of Yogyakarta State University and Makassar State University (Undergraduate and Postgraduate). The results of thi
s study show that the factors that influence student entrepreneurship interest were the ability, self-potential and the large number of students' desire for special policies related to entrepreneurship education. Hence, entrepreneurship education policy played an important role in the development of the sports industry through student entrepreneurship skills by adopting curricula or lessons on entrepreneurship and other entrepreneurial activities. Environmental factors also influenced the entrepreneurship interest, even though in the analysis there were any significant differences from other variables. Therefore, universities or program studies that act as policy makers are expected to be able to improve the sports entrepreneurship curriculum and preserve competition in the sports industry.
