“This national ranking as a top 20 program is outstanding recognition for our entrepreneurship program, the Miller College of Business and Ball State University,” said Matt Marvel, The George A. Ball Distinguished Professor of Entrepreneurship and director of the Entrepreneurship Center. “Our students and alumni are part of an exclusive, high-impact community that few other programs can offer. Today with almost 35 years of tradition, we have an exceptional pool of alumni entrepreneurs who are active mentors that provide expert advice to our students.
“We were an early pioneer in entrepreneurship education, and continue to be one of the most rigorous programs in the nation with the capstone class, where students defend a comprehensive business plan before a panel of executives and alumni entrepreneurs.”
