10 Cool Colleges for Entrepreneurs

Fortune Small Business (FSB) is out with an interesting list of ten cool colleges for entrepreneurs. Instead of ranking schools, FSB opted to list schools that are doing interesting and innovative things in terms of teaching entrepreneurship.
The list includes:
-DePaul
-Florida International (FIU)
-Harvard
-Howard
-Simmons College
-Sitting Bull College
-University of Arizona
-Tucson
-University of Colorado
-Boulder
-University of Texas
-Austin and the University of Rochester

Several of these schools (FlU, Howard, and Rochester) were winners of grants from the Kauffman Campuses Initiative, sponsored by the Kauffman Foundation. Others had unique niches like Sitting Bull College’s focus on Native American entrepreneurship, Colorado’s stress on “green” entrepreneurship, and Simmons College’s focus on supporting women entrepreneurs.
