"This is gratifying recognition of our dynamic programs," said College of Business Dean Steven Manaster. "Spearheaded by the Robert H. and Beverly A. Deming Center for Entrepreneurship and our strong faculty, this progressive, interdisciplinary program educates students on core business issues and provides real-world experiences through interaction with the business community."
