Rollins MBA Ranked First in Florida and 22nd in the Nation for Entrepreneurship by Entrepreneur Magazine and The Princeton Review
“The Rollins MBA was evaluated based on key criteria in the areas of academics and requirements, students and faculty, and outside-the-classroom experiences,” said Amy Cosper, VP/editor-in-chief at Entrepreneur. “Each school that made the list demonstrates excellence in one or more areas—whether in regards to course offerings, the success of students post-graduation, sponsored mentorship programs, or other important factors. While each program is unique, their inclusion in this ranking solidifies their place in an elite category of institutions offering a superlative level of education and preparedness that will play a key role in ensuring the success of tomorrow’s entrepreneurs.”
The Center for Advanced Entrepreneurship is located within the Crummer Graduate School of Business. The Center provides Rollins MBA students and alumni with a variety of practical experiences, both in and out of the classroom, that relate to successful entrepreneurship. Programs include entrepreneurship-focused workshops and seminars, mentoring, internships and consulting engagements with entrepreneurial companies, as well as an advanced entrepreneur speaker series. Opportunities for students and alumni to connect in a meaningful way with advanced entrepreneurs, gaining real-world insight and experience, are critical to the Center’s mission.
“The Center for Advanced Entrepreneurship seeks to be a catalyst and thought leader in the advancement of successful entrepreneurship,” said Cari Coats, director of the Center for Advanced Entrepreneurship at the Crummer Graduate School of Business. “This acknowledgement is validation of our mission and the success of our approach in fostering these fundamentals in students and alumni.”
The Center for Advanced Entrepreneurship achieves its vision by educating and preparing students for entrepreneurial thought and action; cultivating an extensive network of advanced entrepreneurs to provide real-world perspectives and experiences for students and alumni; and engaging in strategic partnerships focused on advancing entrepreneurship.
The joint efforts of The Princeton Review and Entrepreneur bring together The Princeton Review's renowned expertise in research and education with Entrepreneur’s in-depth understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing entrepreneurs in a tough economic climate.
“Understanding and being able to implement entrepreneurial thinking and approaches is an invaluable skill that helps organizations small and large innovate and become leaders in their fields,” said Craig McAllaster, dean of the Crummer Graduate School of Business. “These skills are a necessity for organizations that want to remain competitive in this increasingly global economy.”
The results of the survey, along with the analysis, appear in the October issue of Entrepreneur.

Not All MBAs Are Created Equal
Online Degrees. It can be difficult for students to learn important skills and concepts, such as leadership and organizational behavior, in an exclusively online setting. A face-to-face environment offers the opportunity to learn through interaction with others while simultaneously forging the connections that can be so important to your success.
Shortcut to Success? Many schools offer a 1-year MBA program. However, these programs typically eliminate some of the most important core requirements. In addition, some employers may not recognize a 1-year MBA as a comprehensive business management degree.
Keeping Quality High. Some schools are doing anything to attract applicants, even if quality is sacrificed. Some executive MBA programs accept students with fewer than five years of work experience. A true executive MBA program is designed for professionals who have at least ten years of professional work experience. At the Rollins MBA-Crummer Graduate School of Business, we believe that quality always comes first.
Finding a Program that Meets Your Needs. Make sure that the program you are considering aligns with your experience and time commitment. Rollins offers a range of innovative MBA program formats designed to meet every need, including full-time, evening, Friday and Saturday programs.
Unique and High Value Learning Experience. Rollins commitment to its learning culture offers long-term benefits for its students. Students graduating from Rollins MBA-Crummer Graduate School of Business often see a significant increase in their salaries upon graduation.
These are some of the reasons why Rollins MBA-Crummer Graduate School of Business has been ranked the #1 MBA in Florida by Forbes and BusinessWeek.

Summer Commencement at Knowles Memorial Chapel
We have been very fortunate to acquire the use of the Knowles Memorial Chapel for our Summer 2009 commencement exercises. We have in the past been asked by graduates if this might be a possibility due to the smaller number of graduates marching in the summer commencement. There is no change to the date or starting time of the event, but please note that we are moving the actual event from the larger Harold & Ted Alfond Sports Center to the Knowles Memorial Chapel.
This change in venue will require us to use tickets for the guest of our graduates. Each graduate can order up to six tickets and request additional tickets that might be available at a later date. Graduates are asked to only order the exact number of tickets they need to ensure that all of our guest can be accommodated.
Commencement is a very special day for you and your family, and the goal of the school is to make the experience one you will remember for years to come. We look forward to sharing this moment with you, your family, and friends.
