Abstract: Abstract The entrepreneurial motivation is a previous and indispensable step to the act of starting a company. This paper aims to find the factors that determine the motivation of university students in business degrees to become an entrepreneur. To that end, based on different models developed to explain the causes of entrepreneurship, a final model to complete these factors is proposed. This model develops the effect of curricular impacts, extracurricular and the environment in entrepreneurial motivation. It also distinguishes between impacts and expectations, assuming that the latter not only influences motivation but also generates actions. A survey to a sample of 971 students was used for the empirical study. It has been confirmed that expectations, intrinsic needs and preparation and training are the factors that most influence entrepreneurial motivation.
