The interest in promoting entrepreneurship lies in the mindset or entrepreneurial attitudes of an individual that make up the foundation for the entrepreneurial intention into venturing business to develop innovative solutions to social and environmental problems such as that arising from pandemic (Ruiz-Rosa et al, 2020). This quantitative study attempts to describe and determine the difference and relationship of the level of entrepreneurial attitude of ABM students from a university in Bacolod City when grouped according to their sex and grade level to the level of their entrepreneurial intention. For an accurate computation of the results, the study utilized Sample Mean, Mann-Whitney U Test, Spearman Rank Correlation, and objectively interpreted the tabular results. A survey questionnaire which consists of topic-related questions was disseminated among ABM university students and revealed that students show a high level of positive attitudes towards entrepreneurship and much more concrete entrepreneurial intentions in having a business in mind. The data approved that there is no significant difference in determining the levels of entrepreneurial attitude and entrepreneurial intention. Only there was a significant finding in entrepreneurial attitude in terms of entrepreneurial skills and knowledge because ABM students' knowledge is dependent on the level of entrepreneurial education they receive. Moreover, the relational hypothesis was rejected wherein there was a significant relationship in identifying the levels and relationship of entrepreneurial attitude to entrepreneurial intention [r (104) = 0.593, p = 0.000*]. This study will be a valuable reference for DepEd, Bacolod Chamber Commerce and Industry, entrepreneurs, and future studies.
