This is their sixth annual ranking of the top graduate and undergraduate entrepreneurship programs in the nation. Out of more than 2,300 schools solicited for survey data, a select 50 rose to the top.
All schools surveyed were evaluated based on key criteria in the areas of academics and requirements, students and faculty, and outside-the-classroom experiences. Robert Franek, The Princeton Review's vice president of publishing, says the ranking shows that while there are overall trends, each program offers something unique for students, and that the ranking highlights "schools that are exceptional for specific reasons."
"Aspiring business owners want not just to learn, but to do, and today's top colleges are responding to that demand," says Amy Cosper, VP/editor in chief at Entrepreneur. "We're finding schools focus more on helping students determine an idea's feasibility, plan and set up all aspects of a business, and network more with other entrepreneurs and venture capitalists. The opportunities keep expanding-and our ranking is an excellent launching point for a prospective student's research."
