Want to go to a top entrepreneurship program in the United States? Look at schools in the middle of the country. A recent ranking of entrepreneurship programs from Framingham, Mass.-based Princeton Review and Irvine, Calif.-based Entrepreneur.com reveals that many of the top programs lie off the coasts.

Princeton Review conducted its survey for its 2022 annual ranking from June to August 2021. The schools were ranked on qualities such as the number of degrees and courses offered, whether entrepreneurship students have the opportunity to collaborate with students in other majors, the ratio of faculty to students, the percentage of students enrolled in entrepreneurship already, the total number of companies started by alumni and the number of mentorship and funding opportunities available to students.
