The University of Miami Patti and Allan Herbert Business School offers one of the nation’s best programs for students aspiring to become entrepreneurs, according to The Princeton Review and Entrepreneur Magazine, rankings.
The joint effort of The Princeton Review, known for its annual college and graduate school rankings, and Entrepreneur Magazine ranked Miami Herbert No. 16 on its list of “Top 50 Undergraduate Schools for Entrepreneurship of 2025.”
“We are thrilled with this latest ranking and are determined to break into the top 10 in the coming years,” said Linda Neider, professor and Chair of the Management Department. “Entrepreneurship is not only the most popular major in our department—drawing expertise from all areas of the school—but it is also embedded throughout our curriculum from day one, starting when students begin their undergraduate journey with us.”
Neider highlighted the wide array of opportunities available to students in the program, including developing the fundamentals of an international service or product in their required first-year class, participating in business pitch and plan competitions, engaging in panels with prominent industry speakers, and working closely with a yearly cohort of top students from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).
"These experiential, hands-on activities prepare our innovative students to launch their own unique ventures," she said.
She also credited the program's success to the exceptional guidance provided by faculty entrepreneurs such as Susan Amat, director of the entrepreneurship program, and Susy Alvarez, alongside resources like the University of Miami's Launch Pad and a robust network of dedicated community mentors.
"It’s this ecosystem of support that fosters the remarkable achievements of our students," Neider added.

"Since we debuted these rankings nearly two decades ago, the number of colleges and universities offering entrepreneurship courses has grown tremendously," said Rob Franek, The Princeton Review's editor-in-chief, in a press release. “We highly recommend the schools that made our lists for 2025. Their faculties are outstanding. Their programs have robust experiential components. Their students have access to extraordinary mentors as well as networking contacts that will serve them well into their careers.”
