By Stephen Stone, FSU News

The Florida State University Jim Moran College of Entrepreneurship (JMC) is ranked as a Top 10 public undergraduate entrepreneurship program according to The Princeton Review’s list of Top Schools for Undergraduate Entrepreneurship Programs of 2026.

The college is also ranked second in the South, second in the state of Florida and 18th overall for undergraduate entrepreneurship programs.

“Students come to Florida State with bold ideas and leave our college with the confidence and skills to bring them to life,” said Susan Fiorito, dean of the Jim Moran College of Entrepreneurship.  “We work every day to create an environment where they can experiment, take risks, and learn what it truly means to turn ideas into opportunity. Our standing as a top 10 public undergraduate entrepreneurship program is driven entirely by our students’ accomplishments.”

The Princeton Review evaluates schools based on factors including course offerings, competitions hosted, faculty experience and alumni ventures, among others.

Over the past five years, 531 companies have been launched by JMC graduates, and the college now offers more than 125 entrepreneurship courses. JMC’s six hands-on laboratories, supporting product development and omnichannel merchandising and textile testing allow students to explore entrepreneurship beyond the classroom.

JMC provides a rich curriculum with three undergraduate majors in entrepreneurship — commercial, STEM or retail — and 10 minors through collaborations with colleges across FSU’s campus.

At the graduate level, JMC offers a Master of Science in Entrepreneurship with specialized tracks in product development, social and sustainable enterprises, creative arts and hospitality, as well as a textiles and apparel entrepreneurship master’s program. JMC’s full-time faculty bring extensive real-world experience, having built or currently operating their own businesses.

Beyond serving FSU students, the JMC is also home to the Jim Moran Institute for Global Entrepreneurship, which supports entrepreneurs through a suite of no-cost programs designed for small business owners, nonprofit leaders, veterans and aspiring entrepreneurs. With regional offices in Tallahassee, Jacksonville, Orlando, Tampa and Fort Lauderdale, the JMC is one of the most far-reaching entrepreneurial colleges in the nation.
