One of the main issues many countries face is unemployment. Entrepreneurship has been acknowledged as a means of solving unemployment problems. The study aims to determine the factors influencing the entrepreneurial intention of undergraduate students after having exposure to entrepreneurship subjects. This study adopts a quantitative approach using an e-survey and was distributed to students in one of the higher learning institutions in Malaysia. A stratified sampling method was chosen and only 100 responses can be used for further analysis. The data was analyzed using SPSS. Results of the study show that personal attitude and family influence have a significant relationship with students’ intention to start a business. However, there is no significant relationship between perceived behavioral control and entrepreneurial intention. The study has provided valuable insights for the university to develop more effective entrepreneurship programs besides providing support to those who are passionate to go into business.

Finding a job for university graduates is becoming increasingly difficult, and the number of job opportunities available is not proportional to the number of graduates or new labor supply at all levels of education. This condition requires students to think more imaginatively in order to find opportunities and avoid unemployment, because the more developed a country is, the more educated its people are, and the greater the need for entrepreneurship. The purpose of this study is to analyze and provide evidence that there are crucial elements that influence students' entrepreneurial intentions. This literature review article develops a conceptual framework on college students' entrepreneurial intention based on the constructs of entrepreneurship education, peers, mindset, self-efficacy, creativity, attitude towards entrepreneurship, social media, entrepreneurial culture, and motivation are the elements that influence college students' entrepreneurial intention. According to the literature review, the nine latent constructs can be a benchmark for students in creating entrepreneurial intention. This study's research methodology and accompanying arguments can help advance the discussion in the subject of business management and administration. This research has important implications for future studies that use quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methodologies
