Business Courier
For the eighth year in a row, Xavier University has been named one of the top schools in the country for undergraduate entrepreneurship programs.

In a survey of more than 2,000 schools just released by The Princeton Review and Entrepreneur magazine, Xavier was ranked 25th.

Xavier is ranked along with schools such as the University of Houston, Baylor, Notre Dame and the University of Southern California. In addition to teaching strong entrepreneurship fundamentals in the classroom and staffing with instructors who are successful entrepreneurs, criteria for the rankings included excellence in mentorship, and providing experiential or entrepreneurial opportunities outside of the classroom.

“Behind the top ranked schools is not only a great formal classroom experience, but a cross-disciplinary approach to teaching entrepreneurship that embraces and encourages a student’s vision to build a successful business,” Robert Franek, The Princeton Review’s senior vice president of publishing, said in a news release.
