Based on the correlation analysis, it was found tihat there is significant correlation between the predictor variables (teaching methods, contents of study, infrastructure facilities and resources, and quality of lecturers) and students' entrepreneurial competencies. For regression analysis, two variables which are teaching methods and infrastructure facilities and resources have significant relationship with students' entrepreneurial competencies. Contradict to prediction, the other two variables which are contents of study and quality of lecturers have insignificant relationship with students' entrepreneurial competencies. The findinks of this study have implication for both theory and practice. The Human Capital T~bory is used and supported in this study. Higher educational institutions and lecturers should provide more comprehensive entrepreneurship education for I the students by improving and maintaining the infrastructure facilities and resources, and apply more creative and innovative teaching methods for entrepreneurship !education in order to enhanced the students' entrepreneurial competencies.
