University of Utah Leads Western Undergraduate Entrepreneurship Rankings

Salt Lake City, Utah (November 12, 2026)

The University of Utah ranks first in the West and 15th overall for undergraduate entrepreneurship in the Princeton Review and Entrepreneur’s 2027 rankings. Its graduate program ranks second in the West and eighth overall. The rankings draw on a summer 2026 survey of approximately 300 participating institutions, examining curriculum, faculty, mentoring, practical learning and alumni businesses. Utah reported 45 undergraduate entrepreneurship courses and 269 businesses created within five years, alongside 40 graduate courses and 162 businesses. Overall placements include international institutions, not just U.S. schools. The article recommends considering rankings alongside educational offerings, costs and student outcomes rather than treating different ranking systems as interchangeable.
