The Princeton Review and Entrepreneur magazine listed the University of Dayton as having one of the nation's best entrepreneurship programs for the 20th straight year.
Included in the top 50 ranking, UD was highest in Ohio; in the top five for schools with fewer than 10,000 undergraduates; and 11th in the Midwest.
The list recognizes programs for having outstanding faculty, experiential learning, robust mentoring and strong networking support for students.
“UD students learn through real-world experience, supported by dedicated faculty and a strong network of mentors,” said Vincent Lewis, UD’s associate vice president of entrepreneurial initiatives. “They launch microbusinesses, lead one of the nation’s largest student-run corporations, collaborate with entrepreneurs, manage microloans, invest in startups, and more.”
Students also connect with local businesses at The Hub Powered by PNC Bank, one of the largest university-anchored innovation spaces in the country, as well as through the Greater West Dayton Incubator, which supports underrepresented entrepreneurs.
