The graduate and undergraduate entrepreneurship programs at FIU, which include programs at FIU Business, have again been ranked among the top 50 entrepreneurship programs in the U.S., Canada, Mexico and Europe. The rankings, released in November, were developed through a partnership between Entrepreneur magazine and The Princeton Review. The FIU graduate program is ranked No. 31, and the undergraduate program is ranked No. 46.
Nearly 300 colleges and universities were considered for the 2022 rankings, with the top 50 being ranked.
“Not all elements of entrepreneurship can be found in a book, of course, which is why the best colleges and universities have robust programs that support students' startups and help build the kind of networks that last a lifetime,” noted an Entrepreneurship article accompanying the rankings.
The rankings are based not only on the university’s entrepreneurship programming, but also its graduates’ success rates in the business world, the number of mentors available for students and more.
FIU Business offers entrepreneurship classes at both the graduate and undergraduate level. Programs include a minor in entrepreneurship for non-business majors, an entrepreneurship specialization in the Professional MBA Online program and a Certificate in Entrepreneurship program. FIU Business is also home to the Eugenio Pino and Family Global Entrepreneurship Center, as well as a Florida Small Business Development Center.
The FIU rankings are also based on entrepreneurship offerings, initiatives and other information from the FIU Business, StartUP FIU, the Pino Global Entrepreneurship Center, the Florida Small Business Development Center at FIU, the College of Communication, Architecture + The Arts and Blackstone LaunchPad at FIU.
