Spirituality is now becoming popular because of the physical and mental advantages it brings to entrepreneurship. Regardless of its more philosophical measurement, changes owing to spirituality have been distinguished in people’s mental and standards of conduct. This investigation aims to examine the qualities related to university students, looking to explicitly comprehend the separate individual qualities or the psychological and cognitive inclinations. Tested on a sample of 300 students, Structural Equation Modeling results exhibit that those who participate in spiritual rituals tend to reinforce the mental and psychological credits connected with an entrepreneurial intention. Since entrepreneurial behavior is a priority to boost economic growth, spirituality should be coordinated as a mandatory subject in general instruction from primary school onward. The results of this exploration could be a model for the Indonesian government as they attempt to search for the best model for Entrepreneurship Education Program (EEP).
