Fox Ranked As Best School for Graduate-Student Entrepreneurial Mentorship

Temple University’s Fox School graduate program was ranked as the No. 1 in the nation for entrepreneurial mentorship by Entrepreneur magazine. In addition, The Princeton Review identified Temple as offering the highest number of mentorship programs for graduate entrepreneurship students.

Through the IEI the university conducts annual Idea and Be Your Own Boss Bowl business plan competitions for all students, faculty, staff and alumni. The Fox School and IEI also provide internship opportunities, business-planning workshops, seminars, mentoring and coaching, in addition to annual conferences in social, global, women’s and industry-specific entrepreneurship. The ranking praises IEI for its one-on-one meetings between students and entrepreneurs, senior executives and investors from the region, and calls attention to IEI’s Distinguished Leaders in Residence consultation program.

“This is a remarkable honor and sterling achievement,” said Fox School Dean M. Moshe Porat. “By emphasizing innovation, promoting small-business development, and preparing our students to think of themselves as entrepreneurs, we continue to drive economic growth and job creation in the Philadelphia region and beyond. We are proud to be recognized by Entrepreneur magazine as the nation’s top institution for entrepreneurial mentorship.”

Over the last three years the IEI has expanded its offerings to include: a Master of Science in Innovation Management and Entrepreneurship; graduate certificates in both Innovation Strategy and Innovation & Technology Commercialization; MBA concentrations in both Entrepreneurship and Innovation Management; a General Education course in Creativity & Organizational Innovation; and an Entrepreneurial Living Learning Community.
