SDSU’s Entrepreneur Program Is Listed in
Entrepreneur Magazine’s Top 100 Programs in the U.S.
The Entrepreneurial Management Center has been named one of the
best 100 collegiate entrepreneurship programs in the United States
in the April 2005 issue of Entrepreneur magazine. SDSU appears in
the second tier of the list of the top 50 regionally recognized
academic programs in the country.
A recent study showed that entrepreneurship students
start more companies, and they are also more successful. Sales and
employment growth of companies owned by or employing entrepreneurship
graduates was more than five times the rate of other firms. In addition,
entrepreneurship graduates working in large firms earn, on average,
$23,000 a year more than non-entrepreneurship business graduates.
“We are pleased to be recognized again by Entrepreneur
magazine for the quality of our program. It reinforces that SDSU
is the best place in our region to come for entrepreneurship training,”
said Sanford Ehrlich, executive director of SDSU’s Entrepreneurial
Management Center. “Those who work hard to create businesses
are the driving force in our local economy. We are proud to be a
part of their success.”
San Diego University's Entrepreneurial Management
Center (EMC) is dedicated to providing the regional entrepreneurial
community with tools and skills necessary for venture creation and
growth. The privately-funded Center promotes better knowledge and
understanding of the entrepreneurial process through experiential
learning. More information is available at www.sdsu.edu/emc.
