Dr. Haseeb Ahmed, Interim Dean of the School of Management, credits the recognition to the University’s business partnerships and extracurricular activities.
“Our international entrepreneurship initiatives in Central Asia, our strong co-curricular activities featuring prominent entrepreneurs—such as the Business Speaker Series and Entrepreneur-in-Residence programs—and the Michigan Small Business Development Center (SBDC) I-69 Trade Corridor Region’s contributions to maintaining a vibrant entrepreneurial ecosystem, all led to significant improvement in program quality,” Ahmed said. “The stellar performance by the Kettering Collegiate DECA team in the International Career Development Conference (ICDC) competition, which includes various entrepreneurship categories, also demonstrated the quality of our program to our peers.”
The Princeton Review compiled the list using more than 40 data points in the following categories: academic and requirements; students and faculty; alumni entrepreneurship ventures; outside the classroom; competitions hosted by the school/program; and scholarships and aid. Data points include course options, enrollment in those courses, the number of companies started by graduates in the last five years and types of financial aid available for entrepreneurship studies.
