Wright State’s Raj Soin College of Business ranked among the best for entrepreneurs by Princeton Review

The Princeton Review has ranked Wright State University’s Raj Soin College of Business among the top graduate programs for aspiring entrepreneurs.

The college placed 39th nationally and eighth in the Midwest in the Princeton Review’s Top 50 Graduate Schools for Entrepreneurship Studies for 2026.

Wright State is also the only university in Ohio to earn a spot on the list.

The ranking is based on a survey of administrators at nearly 300 schools offering courses or degrees in entrepreneurship studies.

“Entrepreneurship is about turning ideas into action. At the Raj Soin College of Business, we encourage students to take initiative, embrace calculated risks and develop the resilience needed to build ventures that thrive in competitive markets,” said Dawn Conway, J.D., interim dean of the college and executive in residence. “Just as importantly, we prepare the next generation of leaders to lead with emotional intelligence — balancing vision with empathy, and innovation with integrity.”

Wright State’s Master of Business Administration (MBA) program, through its new venture creation concentration, helps students turn ideas into viable businesses. The program emphasizes the economics of innovation, exploring how technological change, economic growth and globalization influence businesses and organizations. Students gain experience developing business plans for new ventures and technology startups while studying topics such as innovation strategy and technology-based ventures.

The Raj Soin College of Business will further strengthen its focus on entrepreneurship with the launch of the Sandler Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship.

The Sandler Center will provide a collaborative space in the Raj Soin College of Business where students can grow their ideas with hands-on mentorship, real-world support and expanded academic offerings. The center will become a catalyst for entrepreneurial thinking across the university and a key connector to the region’s business community.

Wright State’s MBA program provides a multidisciplinary business education grounded in ethics, sustainability and global awareness.

Students praise the program’s academic quality, affordability, and flexibility. Many attend part time and appreciate the convenience of evening and weekend classes. Courses are described as rigorous yet manageable, and faculty are known for their expertise and commitment to student success.

To make earning an MBA more accessible, Wright State recently introduced the Accelerated Business Essentials program. This option allows students to test out of up to five foundational courses, reducing both the time and cost needed to complete the degree.

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

This latest recognition adds to a growing list of national accolades for Wright State’s business programs.

Earlier this year, Wright State’s MBA program was ranked among the nation’s best on-campus programs by the Princeton Review, and the university’s part-time MBA program and undergraduate business degrees were recognized among the best in the country by U.S. News & World Report.
