Abstract: This study focuses on the Entrepreneurial Intentions, Capabilities, skills of business students in selected universities in Pampanga. The study adopted a descriptive and correlational design using a questionnaire focusing on the respondents’ profile, entrepreneurial Intentions as well as the students’ capabilities and skills. Stratified random sampling was used to determine the respondents. The findings of the study showed that the students disagreed on their entrepreneurial intentions in terms of behavioral, normative, and control beliefs. The students assessed themselves with low entrepreneurial capabilities and skills. Inferential statistics showed that the behavioral and control beliefs have significant difference with school, gender, course, and year level. The course and average monthly allowance have a significant difference with normative beliefs. The significant relationship between entrepreneurial intentions, capabilities, and skills was also identified. Recommendations include promoting more entrepreneurial activities like trade fairs, product planning, business incubation, and other subjects that will be experiential to the students and may create positive behavioral and normative beliefs. These will likewise augment their capabilities that will influence their control beliefs. The curriculum and syllabi may be revisited to ensure the integration of these activities. Discussions on the opportunities that await them and the different business endeavors that they may enter into depending on their skills, should be part of the learning activities to ensure their normative beliefs. Successful entrepreneurs can be partners in honing the students and allow them to have hands-on and adequate internship experience to serve as spurring factors for their entrepreneurial intention.
