The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors that may play a role in elevating the entrepreneurial intentions of college students. The study addresses entrepreneurial intention in the setting of Ramon V. Del Rosario, College of Business, De La Salle University, a college university in the Philippines where the participants were currently in their third to last academic year in the university. by focusing on the theory of entrepreneurial learning by Rae (2005), opportunity recognition by Lim & Havier (2015), the entrepreneurial event model (EEM) by Shapero & Sokol (1982), and personality by Costa & McCrae (1992) as its primary independent variables. The researchers surveyed 162 Business Management students and 134 Entrepreneurship students. The findings shows that for the overall multiple regression, the significant sub-variables for Business Management were Contextual Learning under the variable Entrepreneurial Learning, Entrepreneurial Alertness under Opportunity Recognition, Perceived feasibility under Entrepreneurial Event Model, and Extraversion and Agreeableness under Personality. On the other hand, the significant sub-variables when it comes to Entrepreneurship students included Entrepreneurial Alertness under Opportunity Recognition, Perceived Desirability and Propensity to Act under Entrepreneurial Event Model, and Extraversion and Agreeableness under Personality. The Adjusted R2 of the Multiple Regression Model for all of the variables combined for Business Management was 0.4891. The Multiple Regression Model of Entrepreneurship students which included all variables combined yielded an Adjusted R2 of 0.5656. Based on the findings, educators had implemented fresh methods of teaching and learning that were applicable to today's students and were making plans to further foster students' enterprising spirits in the future.
