Utilizing a structured non-probability sampling method, the research collects primary data through questionnaires. The target population consists of students enrolled in the Economics Faculty, Universitas Semarang, Indonesia. A total of 105 students were selected as the sample for this study.

Data were evaluated through multiple linear regression methods. The results reveal that all analyzed independent variables significantly impact students’ entrepreneurial intentions. It is expected that enhancing knowledge and support will boost students’ entrepreneurial aspirations, promoting a stronger entrepreneurial culture within the academic community. As a coastal city, Semarang possesses unique opportunities and challenges that can further influence entrepreneurial intentions. The city’s maritime heritage and economic activities related to shipping, fishing, and tourism could serve as practical examples for students, enhancing their understanding of entrepreneurship in a coastal context. This environment provides a rich backdrop for fostering innovative business ideas, particularly in sectors like sustainable tourism and marine economy, ultimately encouraging students to pursue entrepreneurial ventures that capitalize on Semarang’s coastal advantages.
