Wright State’s MBA program ranked among the best for entrepreneurs by Princeton Review

Wright State University’s Raj Soin College of Business was named one of the nation’s top graduate programs for aspiring entrepreneurs by the Princeton Review.

The Raj Soin College of Business was ranked 43rd nationally, the top program in Ohio and eighth in the Midwest in the Princeton Review’s Top 50 Graduate Schools for Entrepreneurship Studies for 2025.

The ranking is based on a survey of administrators at nearly 300 schools offering courses or degrees in entrepreneurship studies. The survey, which contained more than 60 questions, was analyzed using over 40 survey data points to select the schools and tally their rankings.

Wright State’s ranking was based on its Master of Business Administration and its new venture creation concentration.

“This ranking correlates well with our efforts to improve our entrepreneurship presence at Wright State and to leverage our new Sandler Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship in the spring, which will help us expand entrepreneurial development opportunities for students, faculty and the business community in an environment that promotes creativity and economic development,” said Don Hopkins, interim dean of the Raj Soin College of Business.

The new venture creation MBA concentration helps students increase their skills and further their career goals through the creation of business plan development for new venture ideas and technology start-ups. Students study the economics of innovation, including technological change, economic growth, globalization and longwave cycles that affect innovation in businesses and organizations. Students also take courses on technology-based ventures and entrepreneurship.

The Raj Soin College of Business recently implemented a new Accelerated Business Essentials program that reduces the time and costs to earn their Master of Business Administration. The accelerated program allows MBA students to test out of five foundation courses, making MBA education more accessible and efficient for students.

At the undergraduate level, the Raj Soin College of Business offers a Bachelor of Science in Business, entrepreneurship major, and an entrepreneurship minor.

Earlier this year, Wright State’s part-time MBA program was ranked as one of the best in the nation by U.S. News and World Report and Fortune magazine.
