The flourishing development of digital entrepreneurship has not only disrupted traditional entrepreneurial thinking patterns, attitudes, and behaviors, but it has also generated unique entrepreneurial chances. This is the case at present. As we move further into the era of digitalization, it has become an essential worry that digital entrepreneurship education, when effectively applied in colleges and universities, may boost college students' entrepreneurial ability and willingness. This review aims to complete an analysis and synthesis of relevant literature on entrepreneurship education in higher education institutions, digital entrepreneurship education, and college students' entrepreneurial intents and practice learning. The research indicates a fundamental connection between teaching digital entrepreneurship, experience learning through entrepreneurial training, and the propensity of college students to engage in entrepreneurial intentions. Furthermore, the development of college students' entrepreneurial intention is positively impacted by digital entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial practice learning in college while simultaneously expanding their aptitude for commercial companies. This review provides higher education institutions with important recommendations and potential sources of inspiration for entrepreneurship instruction.
