Purpose: This study aims to examine the effect of entrepreneurship program quality on students' entrepreneurial interest at Pondok Pesantren Riyadlul Jannah, Pacet, Mojokerto, addressing Indonesia's comparatively low entrepreneurial ratio relative to neighboring ASEAN countries and the importance of entrepreneurship education in Islamic boarding schools (pesantren).
Design/Methodology/Approach: This study employed a quantitative correlational approach with a sample of 50 respondents selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire covering seven dimensions of entrepreneurship program quality: curriculum, instructors, learning methods, resources, field practice, mentorship, and evaluation/feedback. Data were analyzed using simple linear regression via SPSS version 25.
Findings: The findings reveal a positive and significant effect of entrepreneurship program quality on students' entrepreneurial interest, evidenced by a t-value of 6.110 > t-table of 1.677 and a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05. The coefficient of determination (R²) was 0.437, indicating that 43.7% of the variation in entrepreneurial interest is explained by entrepreneurship program quality.
Practical Implications: These findings suggest that pesantren administrators and educators should prioritize improving curriculum relevance, instructor competence, effective learning methods, adequate resources, practical field experience, mentorship, and systematic feedback as key strategies for fostering entrepreneurial spirit among santri.
Originality/Value: This study contributes to the entrepreneurship education literature by adopting an institutional perspective that treats entrepreneurship program quality as a multidimensional construct within an Islamic boarding school context, an area that has received limited empirical attention compared to studies focusing mainly on individual psychological determinants of entrepreneurial interest.
