Kellstadt Entrepreneurship Program Ranked #15 In Nation
According to an article on DePaul University’s website, the Princeton Review ranked The DePaul University’s Kellstadt Graduate School of Business’ entrepreneurship program as #15 in the nation. This is five spots higher than last year.
“We offer students a unique combination of classroom and real-world experiences,” DePaul Coleman Entrepreneurship Chair Harold Welsch (BUS ’66, MBA ’68), founder and director of the entrepreneurship program at DePaul said in a statement in the article. “We teach students the theoretical principles involved in entrepreneurship, but we also make sure students get out into the community to learn how entrepreneurship works.”
In the past five years, graduates have started 102 companies and have collectively raised $2.5 million in funding — a very impressive feat. The school launched its entrepreneurship program in 1982 and currently offers 25 entrepreneurship-related graduate courses.
The Princeton Review created it’s list based on a survey of more than 300 schools offering programs in entrepreneurship studies. The 60-question survey conducted from May through August 2015 looked at each school’s commitment to entrepreneurship education inside and outside the classroom.
More about the rankings can be found on the Princeton Review’s website and in the December issue of Entrepreneur magazine.
