UD entrepreneur program ranked top 10 in nation
The University of Dayton’s entrepreneurship program has been ranked as one of the top 10 in the nation for the fourth straight year by the Princeton Review and Entrepreneur magazine.
The rankings were released Tuesday, Sept. 22, in the 2009 list of best colleges for entrepreneurial programs.
UD’s undergraduate program ranked seventh in the nation, down from fourth in 2008. UD boasts the highest ranked program among Catholic universities nationwide and among all schools in the Midwest states of Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Michigan and Illinois.
Miami University in Oxford ranked 15 and Xavier University in Cincinnati ranked 19th for their undergraduate entrepreneurship programs, respectively.
More than 2,300 schools were surveyed in the seventh annual ranking, which selects the nation’s top 25 undergraduate and top 25 graduate programs for entrepreneurship.
UD’s program has 300 enrolled students, and 74 percent of the faculty are entrepreneurs, according to Entrepreneur magazine.
UD’s program includes a number of hands-on, real-word learning opportunities, according to university officials. They include Flyer Enterprises, the nation’s fourth-largest student-run business with more than $1.4 million in annual revenue, and an annual Business Plan Competition in which students compete for $50,000 in cash prizes as they plan and pitch the launch of a new venture.
