The University of Utah’s David Eccles School of Business was rated one of the top business and accounting colleges in the U.S. by PARADE Magazine in its Aug. 22, 2010 edition. The national Sunday newspaper magazine said University of Utah’s business college is among those “outstanding schools that often fly under the radar” but offer “a big-league education.” PARADE is the most widely read magazine in the U.S. with a circulation of 32 million.

“This national recognition as a leader in business and accounting education is an honor,” said Taylor Randall, dean of the David Eccles School of Business. “We work very hard to give students a competitive edge through a hands-on business education they won’t get anywhere else.” Real-world programs include University Venture Fund, the first and the largest self-sustaining student-run venture capital fund with $18 million, and The Foundry, a program in which student entrepreneurs bring their business dreams to fruition working with private equity industry veterans.

The PARADE college A-list was created by 43 distinguished college counselors across the U.S. and coordinated by renowned expert Gwyeth Smith who was the subject of the 2009 book, Acceptance: A Legendary Guidance Counselor Helps Seven Students Find the Right College—and Find Themselves, by David L. Marcus.

Recently, the David Eccles School of Business was recognized as one of the top 15 in the U.S. for preparing students in the field of business operations through a survey of 19,000 MBA students compiled by The Princeton Review and published in Entrepreneur magazine. The University of Utah was rated the best in the U.S., along with MIT, for creating research-based startup companies by the Association of University Technology Managers.
