ABSTRACT
Students’ entrepreneurial interest is important for encouraging university graduates not only to seek employment but also to create business opportunities. In this context, economic literacy is essential because it helps students understand economic concepts, consider costs and benefits, recognize risks, and manage resources rationally. This study aims to determine the effect of economic literacy on the entrepreneurial interest of students in the Economic Education Study Program at Universitas Muhammadiyah Bone. This study employed a quantitative approach with a causal associative design. The population consisted of 67 students from the 2023 cohort, all of whom were selected as respondents using total sampling. Data were collected through a five-point Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed using simple linear regression. The results showed that economic literacy had a positive and significant effect on students’ entrepreneurial interest, with a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05 and a coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.619. This means that economic literacy explained 61.9% of the variation in students’ entrepreneurial interest. The findings indicate that strengthening economic literacy can support entrepreneurial interest through learning that integrates economic understanding with real entrepreneurial experiences, particularly in analyzing opportunities, risks, and business decision-making more measurably and responsibly.
