Northeastern University’s College of Business Administration Earns #9 Spot in Princeton Review and Entrepreneur magazine’s Annual Entrepreneurship Rankings

Northeastern University’s College of Business Administration (CBA) today announced that it was ranked #9 in the “Top 25 U.S. entrepreneurship colleges and universities” published by the Princeton Review and Entrepreneur magazine. CBA was selected from among 2,000 schools and moved up to #9 from #14 in 2010.

“Entrepreneurial thinking is valued by every CEO running a company, large or small,” said Acting Dean, Harry Lane. “Together, our experienced faculty, staff and corporate partners are dedicated to developing the next generation of business leaders by fostering a culture of entrepreneurship. It is this culture that consistently puts our student entrepreneurs on the path to develop and cultivate innovative start-ups and innovation within companies.”

In testament to this ranking, Northeastern’s Entrepreneur’s Club was recently ranked #6 out of twenty in the world by FledgeWing, an online network that provides aspiring student-entrepreneurs with the tools to develop, build and launch innovative companies. Northeastern’s club is entirely student-run with a mission to enable entrepreneurs from across campus and from diverse majors to pursue their goals by providing valuable resources and communal support in a fun and engaging way.

These accolades follow on the heels of several other awards earned this year, including:

• CBA was ranked #1 for the sixth year in a row for internships in Bloomberg Businessweek’s ranking of the top U.S. Undergraduate Business programs. The undergraduate program was also ranked #38 overall in the Best Undergraduate Business Schools in 2011 by Bloomberg Businessweek.
