About the Ranking
The Princeton Review, a leading provider of educational services, surveyed more than 700 undergraduate and business schools about their offerings in entrepreneurship. The survey included questions covering everything from mentoring, experiential learning and specific course offerings to alumni successes and career prospects of current students. Schools that ranked high demonstrated a commitment to entrepreneurship both inside and outside the classroom and had faculty, students and alumni actively involved and successful in entrepreneurial endeavors. The survey was conducted from March through June 2006 by Ben Zelevansky, director of data collection, with assistance from Andrew Baker. Input for the survey questionnaire was also provided by Suzanne Podhurst, senior editor. Additional assistance was provided by Entrepreneur intern Mallory Somerset.
