The Department of Entrepreneurship and Emerging Enterprises (EEE) in the Whitman School of Management at Syracuse University has been ranked as one of the top 25 best specialty programs for M.B.A. students nationwide in U.S. News & World Report’s “America’s Best Graduate Schools 2009.” The department was ranked 15. In 2008, it was ranked 18.

The rankings were based on a survey of 426 graduate business programs nationwide. Specialty rankings were determined based on ratings by business school deans and directors of accredited master’s programs from the schools surveyed.

“Whitman’s EEE department has consistently been recognized in national rankings for its excellent activities and curriculum,” says Maurice A. Harris, associate dean of graduate programs at Whitman. “Undoubtedly, these rankings help us attract even better-quality M.B.A. candidates to our program. Whitman is pleased to be recognized in this way.”
