For students aspiring to launch their own businesses, Cal State San Bernardino offers one of the top-ranked programs for entrepreneurship studies for 2026. That’s according to The Princeton Review® and Entrepreneur® magazine.

The annual ranking, now in its 20th year, names the top 50 undergraduate and top 50 graduate schools for entrepreneurship studies based on data derived from a survey conducted by The Princeton Review. On the 2026 graduate ranking list, Cal State San Bernardino’s Master of Science in Entrepreneurship and Innovation (MSEI) program is No. 36 globally.

The Princeton Review also names the schools on the lists that ranked highest within regions, specifically the International, Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, South, Southwest, and West regions. CSUSB’s MSEI program, housed in the Randall W. Lewis School of Entrepreneurship and Innovation, is ranked No. 7 in the West region.

The Princeton Review chose the schools for its 2026 lists based on the company's summer 2025 survey of administrators at nearly 300 schools in the U.S., Canada, Mexico and Europe offering entrepreneurship courses. The ranking methodology took into account more than 40 data points covering academics, faculty and student information, mentorship support and alumni entrepreneurship ventures.

“We recommend Cal State San Bernardino along with all the other outstanding institutions that made our lists for 2026 as ideal choices for students considering careers as entrepreneurs,” said Rob Franek, The Princeton Review’s editor in chief. “Their programs have robust experiential components. Their faculties are outstanding. Their students receive mentoring and networking support that will serve them well into their careers.”

The full ranking and information is included about the methodology for the project and profiles of the schools on The Princeton Review’s Top Schools for Entrepreneurship 2026 website.

Entrepreneur, The Princeton Review’s reporting partner on this project since 2006, posted the rankings on is its 2026’s Top Colleges for Aspiring Entrepreneurs website. The magazine also has a 15-page feature on the rankings in its November–December issue, available on newsstands now.

“Inside every successful entrepreneur is a willingness to challenge the status quo—and it’s inspiring to see colleges and universities nurturing that spirit of innovation,” said Jason Feifer, editor-in-chief of Entrepreneur magazine. “These programs create real-world opportunities for students to test ideas, build connections, and launch meaningful ventures. We’re excited to spotlight the schools that help turn bold visionaries into tomorrow’s changemakers.”

The Princeton Review is also known for its annual rankings of MBA programs, law schools, and colleges in dozens of categories, all of which are posted at PrincetonReview.com.

All schools that participated in The Princeton Review survey were considered for the ranking lists. Schools that did not participate were ineligible for consideration.
