"Entrepreneurial thinking is valued by every CEO running a company, large or small," said Acting Dean, Harry Lane. "Together, our experienced faculty, staff and corporate partners are dedicated to developing the next generation of business leaders by fostering a culture of entrepreneurship. It is this culture that consistently puts our student entrepreneurs on the path to develop and cultivate innovative start-ups and innovation within companies."

In testament to this ranking, Northeastern's Entrepreneur's Club was recently ranked #6 out of twenty in the world by FledgeWing, an online network that provides aspiring student-entrepreneurs with the tools to develop, build and launch innovative companies.
