Academic stress that is constantly allowed to exist without any intervention will give a negative impact on the students’ lives. In order to avoid such impacts, college students must possess resilience. In an effort to develop the resilience, character strengths are required to act as an internal protective factor.

This study aims to determine the role of wisdom and knowledge towards resilience of college students experiencing academic stress. This study is a quantitative research with associative design. The sampling technique used is purposive sampling with a sample of 102 college students in Jabodetabek and West Java who claim to experience academic stress.
