The current research is practical in terms of its purpose, which was carried out with a qualitative approach with an exploratory design. The statistical population included 20 faculty members and experts familiar with education and training and experts in the fields of entrepreneurship and economics, and 15 people were selected as a sample using the purposeful sampling method and considering the saturation law. The components of the model of economic education with an entrepreneurial approach were identified using semi-structured interviews and open coding. To measure the qualitative validity, the peer review method was used. Retest reliability and intra-subject agreement method were used to calculate the reliability of the conducted interviews. A total of 112 indicators were identified in four dimensions and 11 components. The results showed that the main components are under the title of individual and personal aspects with themes (recognition of capabilities and talents, planning and goal orientation, creativity and innovation in problem perception and solving it), culture and economic ethics (principle of purposefulness and motivation of the problem, justice and commitment to legalism, principle of benevolence and attention to spirituality), economic concepts and causes (market opportunities and its mechanisms, financial literacy and its tools, literacy economic and its concepts) and social skills (communication skills, management and networking ability).
