About the Ranking

The Princeton Review is a leading provider of educational services including undergraduate and graduate school preparation, academic counseling and undergraduate and graduate program rankings, surveyed more than 700 undergraduate and business schools about their offerings in entrepreneurship. The survey included questions covering everything from mentoring 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. The survey was conducted from March through June 2006 by Ben Zelevansky, director of data collection, with assistance from Andrew Baker, Suzanne Podhurst, and Mallory Somerset.
