-- University of Houston #1 on Undergraduate List / Rice #1 on Graduate List
NEW YORK, Nov. 16, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The Princeton Review® and Entrepreneur® today announced the results of The Princeton Review's 16th annual ranking of undergraduate and graduate schools for entrepreneurship studies.
Based on a survey the education services company conducted in summer 2021 of nearly 300 schools with entrepreneurship offerings, The Princeton Review's ranking tallies took into account more than 40 data points about the schools.
The Princeton Review and Entrepreneur magazine published the ranking lists today on their respective websites at https://www.princetonreview.com/college-rankings/top-entrepreneur and https://www.entrepreneur.com/topcolleges where the lists can be accessed for free.
The project's two main ranking lists name the top 50 undergraduate and top 50 graduate schools for entrepreneurship studies overall. This year, The Princeton Review also tallied sub-lists that name the schools among the 100 overall that ranked highest within their regions: Northeast, Southeast, Midwest, West, and International.
Entrepreneur will publish a feature on the regional lists of top schools for entrepreneurship studies in its December issue, available on newsstands November 23. The feature includes statistics about the schools' courses, faculty, enrollment, tuition, and other subjects. Entrepreneur will also report the top 50 undergraduate and top 50 graduate schools overall in a feature on its website at https://www.entrepreneur.com/topcolleges.
On the top 50 undergraduate schools list, the University of Houston earned the #1 spot while Rice University was #1 on the top 50 graduate schools list. Both schools are additionally impressive as "three-peats": they have been #1 on those lists for three consecutive years. The top 10 schools on the two overall lists as well as a list of schools ranked #1 in the regional lists are below.
"Since the mid-2000s when we first reported these ranking lists, student interest in entrepreneurship has grown dramatically, as has the commitment to entrepreneurship studies within higher education," said Rob Franek, The Princeton Review's editor in chief. "Equally impressive have been the extraordinary contributions of the business community to these programs. We heartily recommend the fine schools that made our entrepreneurship studies ranking lists this year. Their faculties are outstanding. Their programs have robust experiential components, and their students receive awesome mentoring and networking support that will serve them for years to come."
"The value of entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial thinking continues to grow in our daily lives," said Jason Feifer, editor in chief of Entrepreneur magazine. "We're now seeing Americans start businesses at the fastest rate in a decade. By sharing this list, we want to continue to provide the much-needed information that people are looking for to forge their path to entrepreneurship. This list is a valuable reference tool for where future leaders can attain the knowledge, community and training grounds to succeed on that path."
