Abstract
Research findings have demonstrated that minoritized students have a meaningful interest in entrepreneurship and business creation and innovation (Plant & Ren, 2010). Nonetheless, there is a lack of research on the entrepreneurial intent and the perceived experience of minoritized business students at a Minority Serving Institution, specifically Hispanic Serving Institutions. This study utilized the social cognitive theoretical framework to comprehend how minoritized business students’ inputs and determinants, such as their personal entrepreneurial background, values, self-efficacy, and emotional competence, coupled with the minoritized business students’ interaction with and perception of the business academic environment at a Hispanic Serving Institution can shape the minoritized business students’ entrepreneurial intent. The analysis found that the minoritized business students’ inputs, determinants, and interaction with and perception of the business academic environment at a Hispanic Serving Institution can influence their entrepreneurial intent.
