UW entrepreneurship programs place in the top 10 in national ranking

SEATTLE — Entrepreneurship programs at the University of Washington ranked in the top 10 for “Best Entrepreneurship Program,” according to a ranking produced jointly by "The Princeton Review" and "Entrepreneur Magazine."

The ranking lists the 50 undergraduate institutions and 50 graduate institutions with the best offerings in entrepreneurship studies, from an analysis of nearly 300 schools.

The UW is one of only five schools in the nation to be ranked this year in the top 10 on both the graduate and undergraduate sides. It’s the first time in the 18-year history of the ranking that the UW’s undergraduate program, which placed No. 9, and the graduate program, at No. 7, both made it to the top 10.

Based on a survey of administrators, the ranking tallies took into account more than 40 data points about the schools’ entrepreneurship programs, faculties, students and alumni, according to "The Princeton Review."

Entrepreneurship programs at the UW are housed in the Foster School of Business, the Buerk Center for Entrepreneurship, CoMotion, the College of Engineering, UW Bothell, UW Tacoma and GIX.
