Didn't have time to read the criteria used in the Entrepreneur mag survey but noticed they documented whether a school has a business *plan* competition.

Look at the OPIM Major in the McDonough School of Business at Georgetown University. www.msb.edu/prog/opim
It is just 5 years old, but has already launched several entrepreneurs, one of whom is a founder of LivingSocial.com, Tim O'Shaughnessy. Another is Will Wnekowicz, who cofounded Debatepedia.com and is now President and Founder of Altum Design Studios.
