Background Student Entrepreneurial Behavior (SEB) has gained increasing attention within entrepreneurship education research. However, existing studies remain fragmented and predominantly emphasize entrepreneurial intention rather than observable entrepreneurial behavior. Objective This study aimed to provide an exploratory bibliometric overview of Student Entrepreneurial Behavior (SEB) research by identifying publication trends, thematic patterns, and research gaps within higher education. Methods An exploratory bibliometric analysis was conducted on 31 Scopus-indexed publications published between 2020 and 2024. Bibliographic data were retrieved using Publish or Perish and analyzed using VOSviewer through performance analysis and keyword co-occurrence mapping. Results The findings suggest that Student Entrepreneurial Behavior (SEB) research is still in an early stage of development, characterized by fluctuating publication trends, geographic concentration, and a predominance of cross-sectional studies. Thematic clustering identified several major research areas, including individual determinants, entrepreneurship education, social influences, and entrepreneurial behavior measurement. Conclusions This study provides an initial exploratory overview of Student Entrepreneurial Behavior (SEB) research and highlights the continuing intention–behavior gap, together with the need for longitudinal, mixed-method, and cross-cultural research. Given the limited number of publications included, the findings should be interpreted as exploratory and may serve as a foundation for future research and evidence-informed curriculum development in entrepreneurship education.
