After surveying 2,300 schools, Entrepreneur magazine and The Princeton Review named the University of Oregon Lundquist College of Business's entrepreneurship program among the top twenty-five in the country. The Lundquist Center for Entrepreneurship placed twentieth in the graduate programs category, where it stood out in the three areas covered by the survey: academics and requirements, students and faculty, and outside the classroom.

The recognition comes just as the Lundquist College of Business was again recognized as one of the nation's most outstanding public business schools by USNews & World Report. The publication's Best Colleges 2010 lists the college as number twenty-eight in the nation among public business schools (forty-eighth among all 184 accredited public and private institutions).

The latest rankings demonstrate a significant upward trend. The Lundquist Center for Entrepreneurship improved from number twenty-three in the 2008 Princeton Review rankings to join the Top twenty in this year's poll. And, importantly, the Lundquist College of Business climbed higher over the past year (from thirty-eighth public and fifty-eighth overall in 2008) than all but one other business school in the country.

Additional honors received include Entrepreneur and The Princeton Review ranking the college a top-fifteen school for graduate students interested in marketing and Forbes recognizing the Oregon M.B.A. program as one of the best in the nation based on return on investment.

Lundquist marketing department faculty have also been honored as the eighth best in the country in terms of research productivity, and another study placed our accounting department ninth for tax accounting research during the past twelve years.

"We've always known that we offer outstanding programs" noted Dennis Howard, the college's former dean. "But the influx of national recognition is a testament to the exceptional quality and hard work of our faculty."
