The CU-Boulder MBA entrepreneurship program was rated 16th in the nation in a ranking of graduate entrepreneurship programs released April 2 by U.S. News & World Report magazine.
The ranking placed CU-Boulder's MBA entrepreneurship program among the top 20 in the nation along with Harvard, Stanford, UCLA, MIT, Northwestern and the University of Pennsylvania.
"This is gratifying recognition of our dynamic programs," said College of Business Dean Steven Manaster. "Spearheaded by the Robert H. and Beverly A. Deming Center for Entrepreneurship and our strong faculty, this progressive, interdisciplinary program educates students on core business issues and provides real-world experiences through interaction with the business community."
The CU-Boulder MBA entrepreneurship program also was ranked 16th in the nation by U.S. News & World Report in 2000. The Deming Center for Entrepreneurship is a joint program of the CU-Boulder colleges of business and engineering.
"We are a student-oriented program and support those interested in entrepreneurship with a 'living laboratory' through fellowships, internships, mentorships, projects in entrepreneurial companies and real-world courses taught by top faculty," said Kathy Simon, director of the Deming Center for Entrepreneurship.
The CU-Boulder business faculty was recently ranked 38th in the nation in a study published in the Academy of Management Journal. The CU-Boulder doctoral program in strategic management/entrepreneurship was ranked first in the world by the International Council for Small Business in 1997.
In addition to CU-Boulder's master's-level entrepreneurship program, undergraduate students can pursue an area of application and certificate program in the field.
