The University of Dayton entrepreneurship program was ranked 12th on the list of the top 25 U.S. undergraduate programs by The Princeton Review, according to a UD press release published Tuesday, Sept. 20.
The program was ranked sixth last year, which marked its fifth straight year of earning a top 10 ranking, according to the entrepreneurship program's website.
Dean McFarlin, chair of the management and marketing department, said the program's loss in rank relates to changes in The Princeton Review's rankings. The UD management and marketing department runs the entrepreneurship program, according to its website.
"You have to put it in perspective because what's changed since 2006 is that the number of schools who have entrepreneurship programs and who are participating in the survey that The Princeton Review does has dramatically changed since the beginning," McFarlin said.
The Princeton Review surveyed over 2,000 schools to decide on the annual ranking, according to the press release. The Princeton Review is an academic company which helps students with classroom and standardized test achievement and admissions, according to its website.
