Abstract

Abstract: Students^ entrepreneurship is getting more important nowadays. Some graduates work as entrepreneurs. It becomes one of the Main Performance Indicators (IKU) of Higher Education, especially the 1st IKU. Many universities have also included entrepreneurship courses in all bachelor and diploma degree study programs. The government holds a student entrepreneurship development program through the Ministry of Education and Culture, Research and Technology in the student entrepreneurship program. On the one hand, the government and universities have made efforts to develop students^ entrepreneurship skills. However, its development is not progressive. Many students do not have the orientation, and abilities, and make entrepreneurship an option for their future.
Based on this understanding, research is carried out on entrepreneurial students based on cases at the Faculty of Social Sciences, UNNES. This research aims to study students^ motivation to conduct entrepreneurial activities and factors that support them to carry out such things. The research uses a qualitative case method. The subjects and informants are the students who have entrepreneurial activities in the Faculty of Social Sciences (FIS), the lecturers, and the students^ entrepreneurship assistants. The findings show that the main motivations of entrepreneurial students are to earn independent income, help ease the economic burden on their parents, take advantage of hobbies to add business startups and influence friends and entrepreneurship courses. Some factors that support them to hold entrepreneurial activities are family (entrepreneurial family), social environment, having friends who are also entrepreneurs, participating in one or more entrepreneurship training activities, internships and entrepreneurship courses.
