Two Houston universities — Rice University and the University of Houston — have been ranked as having the best graduate entrepreneurship program and the best undergraduate entrepreneurship program in the country, respectively.
The Princeton Review bumped UH’s Cyvia and Melvyn Wolff Center for Entrepreneurship one place up from last year’s rankings, dethroning the University of Michigan for best undergraduate entrepreneurship program. Rice University’s Jones Graduate School of Business rose two spots — it was No. 3 last year. On the 2018 list, each school was No. 2 in their respective categories.

“The Wolff Center is the catalyst, but entrepreneurship goes beyond that to the entire Bauer College, including RED Labs, social entrepreneurship, energy, health care, arts and sports entrepreneurship, among many other programs,” UH Business School Dean Paul Pavlou said in a UH release. “We’re an entrepreneurial university, and innovation and the startup ecosystem we want to promote for the city of Houston starts with the Wolff Center and Bauer.”
Between 30 and 40 students are admitted to the Wolff Center as entrepreneurship majors every year. Roughly 2,500 students take at least one entrepreneurship class each year. According to UH, 1,200 businesses have started over the last decade by Wolff Center students and graduates, with funding of $268 million.
The Wolff Center was established in 1991. It's been in the top 10 undergraduate entrepreneurship programs since 2007 and No. 1 on the list in 2008, 2010 and 2011.
