This study uses a quantitative design, the sample of this research is 360 students majoring in education at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences Unimed. The data analysis used the chi square test. The results showed that the majority of students as much as 90% were interested in becoming entrepreneurs. Variables that were significantly related to entrepreneurial interest included parents’ income p = 0.010, parental history of entrepreneurship p = 0.040, and the presence of a supervisor for entrepreneurship discussion p = 0.050. Universities should in addition to providing entrepreneurship lectures, should provide student entrepreneurship service centers that provide lecturers as companions or discussion partners for students to become entrepreneurs.
