Loyola Marymount University ranks among the nation’s top 25 schools for undergraduate entrepreneurship studies, The Princeton Review announced today.
LMU is No. 14 on the company’s 2016 list of the best schools for students aspiring to launch their own businesses. The rankings are based on a 60-question survey of more than 300 institutions across the country, and consider such factors as the schools’ commitment to entrepreneurship education inside and outside the classroom, the percentage of faculty, students and alumni successfully involved in entrepreneurial endeavors, mentorship programs, scholarship funding and more.
“It is wonderful to be recognized by The Princeton Review again. I am thrilled for our faculty, staff, students, and alumni,” said David Choi, Ph.D., director of the College of Business Administration’s entrepreneurship program at LMU. “This was the first time The Princeton Review took into consideration the track records of graduates. We are being recognized because our students and graduates have been successful in their entrepreneurial endeavors.”
Said Robert Franek, The Princeton Review’s senior vice president-publisher: “All of the schools on our lists have superb entrepreneurship programs. We highly recommend them to any applicant aspiring to launch a business.”
The Princeton Review’s acknowledgment of LMU’s entrepreneurship program comes on the heels of the university’s rank in September as No. 3 among U.S. News & World Report’s best regional universities in the west. Additionally, LMU’s undergraduate entrepreneurship program took the No. 7 spot nationwide; marketing was ranked 14; and the university’s accounting program, 19.
With Entrepreneur magazine, The Princeton Review has reported entrepreneurship rankings annually since 2006. LMU in 2011 ranked No. 24 for its graduate entrepreneurship program and in 2010 held the No. 22 spot for best undergraduate entrepreneurship programs.
