Entrepreneurial culture is a cornerstone of innovation and economic growth in the modern era, requiring an interdisciplinary approach to its development. Economic sciences, with their focus on market dynamics, resource allocation, and value creation, play a crucial role in fostering entrepreneurial skills and attitudes among students. This article examines the theoretical foundations, practical applications, and educational strategies that connect economic sciences with the cultivation of an entrepreneurial mindset. Emphasis is placed on how economic education develops critical thinking, risk assessment, and innovative problem-solving capabilities. The paper also explores policy implications and institutional support necessary to strengthen the integration of entrepreneurship into economic curricula. Challenges and opportunities are identified, offering insights into creating a comprehensive framework for entrepreneurial education. The findings highlight the transformative potential of economic sciences in shaping future entrepreneurs capable of addressing global challenges and contributing to sustainable development.
