The OU Price College of Business now has the 10th-best entrepreneurship program in the country, according to a recent report by Entrepreneur magazine and The Princeton Review.
To evaluate schools, the magazine looked at course requirements, faculty and student ratios, accomplishments of graduates and extracurricular business activities, according to the magazine’s website.
In 2010, OU ranked No. 15 in the country, according to the magazine. The University of Houston ranked first in 2010 and 2011.
“What has happened ... in the past decade is that what happens in the classroom is no longer enough,” said Jim Wheeler, director and cofounder of OU’s entrepreneurship program, in a press release.
Wheeler said OU’s entrepreneurship program supplements classroom lessons with real-world experiences, such as trips to Austin and San Francisco to meet actual professionals, as well as study abroad tours in Italy and China. The college also offers pitch competitions to students.
