Top 10 Schools With Best Undergraduate Entrepreneurial Programs

By

Many of the world's most successful people have delivered inspirational quotes for budding entrepreneurs to take to heart, but one comes above the rest.

Confucius said, "Choose a job that you like, and you will never have to work a day in your life."

The Princeton Review released its list of the top school to attend for entrepreneurial programs. Like Confucius and all those who came after him said, it is the job of one's true passion that will inspire the best work.

While some of the most successful people in the world are college educated, a lot are. For example, Google's founders came up with their idea for the search engine at Stanford University. So did the SnapChat people. Facebook was conceived on Harvard's campus, Reddit at the University of Virginia and Time Magazine at Yale.

From the aforementioned schools, only Stanford made the top ten, and the top 25 as well. Many of these schools will also appear on "most expensive" lists, but the potential financial wealth and career happiness of an entrepreneurial job could make the price tag worthwhile.
