The field of entrepreneurship in Malaysia is growing with the help of various parties in providing space for entrepreneurs to take part in this entrepreneurship aspect. We can see that the Government has played very important role in producing successful entrepreneurs who have a background in entrepreneurship education through their helpeither in terms of finance and advisory services to those interested in becoming entrepreneurs. Apart from the government, educational institutions also have played an important role in increasing students’ interest in venturing into entrepreneurship after graduation. However, the field of entrepreneurship is seen as a last choice due to lack of awareness in the potential of this career. Based on these problems, a study was conductedto check the entrepreneurial values in students of the Academy of Contemporary Islamic Studies, Shah Alam Branch for their desire to open a business after graduation. This study uses survey method with questionnaire as the main instrument. A total of 326 students who attended entrepreneurship classes were the sample which selected via stratified randomly. The findings of the study found that the values of entrepreneurship in themselves have led to an increase in students' confidence to open a business with a moderate level that is the average mean range between 2.95 to 3.91. Pearson correlation coefficient showed a significant, weak and moderately positive relationship (0.25 ≤ r ≤ 0.58) at the significance level of 0.01. This study is limited to final year students who have taken entrepreneurship courses for semester 2020/2021 at ACIS and generalizations need to be made based on the data collected.
