The situation resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic has affected several areas: economic, social, relational, and, of course, education. This article aims to determine the impact on education, transposed to Resilience and entrepreneurial intention. A quantitative study was carried out, and 550 undergraduate university students were surveyed by random probability sampling, and the data were analyzed by factor analysis for the reduction of dimensions, and subsequently, linear and correlational regressions were applied. We found that there is a positive impact between Resilience and the entrepreneurial intention of university students, and it was also demonstrated that the greater the Resilience, the greater the perceived control of the entrepreneurial intention. Both attitude and subjective norm showed the highest positive relationships. The present work provides essential findings on the effect of Resilience on students and supports the importance of including entrepreneurship in education as a post-pandemic triggering factor. Furthermore, it opens future lines of research related to the inclusion of entrepreneurship in university students and the specific social impacts that may affect entrepreneurial intention.
