Lincoln (Neb.) - Aug. 26, 1997 - For the second-straight year, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln College of Business Administration has been honored by Success magazine as one of the "25 Best Business Schools" for entrepreneurs. The list appears in the September issue of the magazine and honors the top master's degree programs in the nation. UNL was listed along with such schools as Cornell, Harvard, UCLA and Pennsylvania's Wharton School.
"It's really an honor for us to be mentioned in Success' list of the 25 Best Business Schools because it's a tough, competitive group of schools that you're measured against," said Robin Anderson, director of the Nebraska Center for Entrepreneurship.
"It's taken a long time, but once we got the recognition it snowballed," said Sang Lee, University Eminent Scholar and management department chair. "It's a great honor to be recognized for the second year in a row because some good schools were dropped from last year's list."
Anderson, who has been the center's director since its inception in 1987, said he thinks there are several reasons why Success once again honored Nebraska, but one factor stands out.
"The main reason is that we have a global scope," he said. "That's what really sets us apart from other business schools. Our students have many opportunities to gain international experience and that's one of the things Success specifically mentioned in its summary of our program."
"Sang Lee, Robin Anderson and the rest of the faculty in the
management department have very quietly developed one of the best
programs in the country," said Jack Goebel, dean of the College
of Business Administration. "The undergraduate entrepreneurship
program was named the best in the United States last month (by
the U.S. Association for Small Business and Entrepreneurship) and
now the master's program has been honored nationally for the
second year in a row. That's quite a record. Sang Lee's vision in
the mid-1980s to create a focus on entrepreneurship anticipated
some of the major changes that have taken place in the business
world since then. As a result, our graduates are very well
prepared to compete in today's business climate."
