Entrepreneur magazine has ranked Baylor University's Hankamer School of Business number four in the nation for undergraduate entrepreneurship education, beating schools such as the University of Southern California, Northeastern and Temple.

The criteria for the ranking, which reveals the top 25 undergraduate and graduate programs in the field, consisted of academics and requirements, students and faculty as well as outside-the-classroom experiences.

Babson College, the University of Houston and the University of Arizona came in first, second and third, respectively.
