The entrepreneurial intention takes a major role in providing a new business creation. Despite major studies that have shown that entrepreneurship education is influential in driving intentions, few discuss this relationship by involving individual entrepreneurial orientation and internship motivation. This study is designed to investigate determinant factors affecting university students’ entrepreneurial intentions. To understand the nexus between entrepreneurship education and college students’ entrepreneurial intention, the hypotheses provide the intermediary role of entrepreneurial orientation, and this study presents evidence from Indonesia on the link between internships and intention for business. Using structural equation modeling (SEM) with partial least squares (PLS), the findings indicate that students’ entrepreneurial orientation and entrepreneurship education can drive students’ internship motivation and intention for entrepreneurship. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that internship motivation can moderate the link between entrepreneurial orientation, entrepreneurship education, and university students’ entrepreneurial intention. © Narmaditya B.S., Seprillina L., Istiqomah N., Radzi N.B.M., Wibowo A., Sahid S., 2022.
