— U-Houston #1 on Undergraduate List / Rice #1 on Graduate List

NEW YORK, Nov. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Princeton Review^® and Entrepreneur^® today announced the results of The Princeton Review's 17^th annual ranking of undergraduate and graduate schools for entrepreneurship studies.

Based on a summer 2022 survey The Princeton Review conducted of nearly 300 schools with entrepreneurship offerings, the rankings reported today took into account more than 40 data points about the school programs, faculties, students, and alumni.

The Princeton Review and Entrepreneur published the project's ranking lists on their respective websites at https://www.princetonreview.com/entrepreneur and https://www.entrepreneur.com/topcolleges.

The ranking lists name the top 50 undergraduate and top 50 graduate schools for entrepreneurship studies for 2023. On the undergraduate schools list, the University of Houston is #1 while Rice University is #1 on the graduate schools list. Both schools are "four-peats," having earned the #1 ranking on these lists for four consecutive years. (The top 10 schools on the lists are below.)

The project also names the undergraduate and graduate schools that ranked highest within seven regions: International, Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, South, Southwest, and West. (The #1 schools on the regional lists are below.)

Entrepreneur will publish a feature article on the regional lists of top schools for entrepreneurship studies in its December issue, available on newsstands November 22nd. The article includes statistics about the schools' courses, faculty, enrollment, tuition, and other subjects.

"Since the mid-2000s when we debuted these ranking lists, student interest in entrepreneurship studies has grown dramatically, as has the commitment to this field in higher education and the extraordinary support of the business community for these programs," said Rob Franek, The Princeton Review's editor in chief. "We strongly recommend these schools on our entrepreneurship studies lists for 2023. Their faculties are outstanding. Their programs have robust mentoring components, and their students receive networking support that will serve them for years to come." 

"The rate of entrepreneurship and business creation has hit record highs in recent years," said Jason Feifer, editor in chief of Entrepreneur magazine. "We're seeing more people seeking insight on how to become successful entrepreneurs. With this list of schools, aspiring entrepreneurs have a valuable reference for exploring schools that excel at helping young leaders expand their business skillsets and networks within an entrepreneurial ecosystem."
