Abstract: This study fills a gap in previous research by performing an in‐depth analysis of 146 entrepreneurship centers in the United States. This two‐part study looks at the characteristics of the entire sample of entrepreneurship centers and then examines the differences between top‐ranked centers and nonranked centers. The findings indicate that top‐ranked centers have three times as many endowed chairs as nonranked centers. Top‐ranked centers also offer more comprehensive graduate programs. Overall, top‐ranked centers have more resources and personnel. The findings of this study will assist students, faculty, staff, administrators, directors, and other stakeholders of entrepreneurship centers.
