PROGRAM聮S Ph.D. RANKS NO. 1
The University of Colorado at Boulder Graduate School of Business Administration was recently ranked No. 1 in doctoral entrepreneurship education at the 42nd World Conference of the International Council of Small Businesses in San Francisco.
The entrepreneurship doctoral program out-ranked competing schools such as Harvard, Purdue, Northwestern, University of Georgia, University of South Carolina, Wharton, Michigan, University of North Carolina and Texas A&M.
抖阴旅行射-Boulder聮s entrepreneurship program has found a successful formula 聳 combining entrepreneurship and strategic management. 聯That聮s one aspect that distinguishes our program 聳 the Ph.D. students here receive their degree in strategic management with an emphasis in entrepreneurship,聰 explained Professor Dale Meyer.
聯They have a 聭mother discipline聮 and have research and teaching experience in entrepreneurship. This makes them versatile and attractive when applying for teaching positions,聰 Meyer said.
Meyer says the doctoral students who study entrepreneurship at 抖阴旅行射 are exposed to the nation聮s leading scholars when participating in conferences, research projects and university activities. They also work with 抖阴旅行射 business faculty members who have been awarded an entrepreneurial research grant in finance, human resources management, organizational behavior, strategic management and marketing.
Former 抖阴旅行射-Boulder students are now teaching entrepreneurship at schools such as Vanderbilt, Cornell, University of Tennessee-Knoxville, Wake Forest, California State-San Marcos, University of Connecticut, Bentley and the University of Oregon.
