Students’ entrepreneurial readiness is a strategic concern because entrepreneurship education in higher education is not always followed by the confidence and capability required to start a business. This study examines the partial and simultaneous effects of the entrepreneurial environment, financial support, and business networks on students’ entrepreneurial readiness at the Faculty of Economics and Business, Universitas Dehasen Bengkulu. An explanatory quantitative design was applied to a population of 593 active students in the third to seventh semesters. One hundred respondents were selected through purposive sampling using the Slovin formula with a ten percent margin of error. Data were collected through observation and a Likert-scale questionnaire, then analyzed using validity and reliability tests, multiple linear regression, determination analysis, partial tests, and a simultaneous test. The entrepreneurial environment had a positive and significant effect, with a coefficient of 0.335 and a significance value of 0.000. Financial support also had a positive and significant effect, with a coefficient of 0.475 and a significance value of 0.000, making it the strongest relative predictor. Business networks had a positive coefficient of 0.116 but were not statistically significant, with a significance value of 0.183. Simultaneously, the three predictors significantly affected entrepreneurial readiness, with an F value of 188.261 and an adjusted coefficient of determination of 0.850. The model therefore explained 85 percent of the variation in readiness. The findings emphasize integrated entrepreneurial support through a conducive environment, accessible financing, and more active, practical, and outcome-oriented business networks.
