FAU Breaks into Global Top 6 for Entrepreneurship Research

Florida Atlantic University was once again ranked among the top 10 colleges globally for research productivity in entrepreneurship, according to new rankings from Texas Christian University.

FAU jumped two spots, ranking No. 6 in the rankings calculated by the Texas Christian University Global University Research Productivity report, up from No. 8 last year. 

"We are proud to be recognized for the high-impact entrepreneurship research produced by our faculty. Our scholars continue to lead the way in examining the many factors that drive business growth, innovation, and entrepreneurial success,” said Daniel Gropper, Ph.D., dean of the College of Business and Kaye Family professor.

The TCU Global University Entrepreneurship Research Productivity Rankings is based on entrepreneurship research published in a five-year period from 2021 to 2025. The ranking counts publications made from universities in three of the top entrepreneurship journals: Journal of Business Venturing (JBV),  Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice (ETP), and Strategic Entrepreneurship Journal (SEJ).

While only one indicator of a college's program, research productivity is a key component of whether an entrepreneurial program is following an evidence-based approach and exemplifies thought leadership.

FAU’s College of Business faculty have made significant contributions to entrepreneurship research, winning numerous awards for their academic papers and teaching.

FAU’s College of Business is dedicated to pursuing excellence in education for the South Florida community and is among the top 20 largest AACSB-accredited business schools in the country, with more than 9,000 students enrolled. Its fundamental mission is to help create opportunities for students and the community through first-rate educational programs.

The college offers multiple programs ranked among the best by U.S. News & World Report, Fortune, The Princeton Review, and Entrepreneur magazine. The college’s non-degree executive education programs are ranked No. 4 in the U.S. and No. 1 in Florida by the Financial Times.
