It is my pleasure to announce that Babson College's MBA program has been ranked No. 1 in entrepreneurship by U.S. News & World Report for the 18th consecutive year. We continue to outrank major private and public universities-the other entrepreneurship programs behind us in the top five are Stanford University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Sloan), Harvard University, and the University of Pennsylvania (Wharton). Also released were full-time rankings, and our MBA program has improved to No. 52, an increase of two places from last year, reflecting improvement in recruiter opinion and gains in our employment statistics. Finally, in the part-time rankings, our Evening MBA program is ranked No. 21, tied with Boston College as the highest ranked part-time program in Boston.
