teaching, research, and community service. If the university does not become an
entrepreneurial university, it will hinder national development and international
competitiveness. teaching universities need to create entrepreneurial universities and that

obtaining data from questionnaires distributed to respondents in the economics and
business faculties and followed by qualitative methods by conducting interviews with
resource persons. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the readiness of the faculty in
realizing the entrepreneurial university agenda. The measuring instrument used by the
OECD 2019 researchers is the measure and there are eight aspects that must be
evaluated and the results of the evaluation there are 3 aspects that need focus and
improvement by the faculty because they are considered to have low respondent scores in
realizing the EU agenda, namely Entrepreneurship Teaching and Learning, Digital
Transformation and Capability and Measuring Impact.
