BU Ranked No. 28 by Forbes
Forbes magazine has ranked Boston University no. 28 on its 2014 most entrepreneurial universities list. According to the magazine, BU is considered one of the top start-up schools in the United States.
Forbes based its ranking of the nation’s most entrepreneurial research universities on an “entrepreneurial ratio,” pitting the number of alumni and students who have identified themselves as founders and business owners on LinkedIn against the school’s total student body (undergraduate and graduate combined).
Boston University School of Management is leading the charge at the University for more innovative academics, offering a newly enhanced curriculum that fosters and cultivates entrepreneurship. The School’s Entrepreneurship Programs Office also hosts various entrepreneurial events, including new venture case competitions, business start-up boot camps, and a Pitch & Pizza competition, during which participants have 60 seconds to pitch a business idea to a panel of experts.
Graduate students at Boston University have unparalleled resources to create important new enterprises: classes, expert faculty, competitions, entrepreneurial clubs and networks, engaged alumni supporters and a University dedicated to turning viable ideas into commercial realities. Those who are taking part in the MBA program at BU have the opportunity to use the Entrepreneurship Programs Office to their advantage to expand their knowledge on creating a business and how to take a business idea and apply it to real-life situations.
