LOS ANGELES, Oct. 11, 2007 - The College of Business Administration of Loyola Marymount University was named among the best in the nation for its undergraduate and graduate entrepreneurship programs by The Princeton Review and Entrepreneur Magazine. The undergraduate program was rated 10th best, up from 13th last year. The graduate program was rated 11th.
“We teach our students to believe in themselves, we give them the skills to take the first step and we show them how to learn from their failures,” said Fred Kiesner, Conrad N. Hilton Chair in Entrepreneurship.
Joining LMU in the top 10 of the undergraduate rankings were Babson College in Massachusetts and the University of Arizona. LMU’s undergraduate program was ranked higher than other well-known national universities, including USC and the University of Notre Dame. LMU’s graduate program ranking at 11th marked the first time that the program has appeared in the top 25. Colleges and universities were ranked based on evaluations of faculty, students, academics and outside-the-classroom support and experiences. More than 900 institutions were surveyed.
LMU’s entrepreneurship program was launched in 1972. The university was one the first in the nation to formally teach entrepreneurship.
The rankings will be published in the November issue of “Entrepreneur” that hits newsstands on Oct. 23.
