Need help finding safeties with good entrepreneurship/business programs

For a New York student with a specific interest in the fashion industry, FIT seems like an obvious one to look at: Entrepreneurship

Does your international background mean that you’d be interested in an international focus in college - i.e. studying and/or internships abroad, programs with international connections, etc? Or conversely, does it mean that you’re “BTDT” about going abroad and are more interested in a US-based college experience?

As one example of the former, St. Louis University has a campus in Madrid, where it offers four-year degrees, “2+2” degrees (two years in Madrid and two in STL) and traditional semesters/years abroad. SLU offers en entrepreneurship major and minor; the major is available as a 2+2 and the minor is available to 4-year students in Madrid (business-y majors in Madrid include international business, econ, & marketing).

URI’s International Business program (not a major in “international business,” but rather a dual-degree program combining a foreign language/culture major and a business major, for which the Innovation & Entrepreneurship major is one option) includes both study and internship abroad. https://web.uri.edu/business/academics/undergraduate/international-business-program/

UMiami offers an entrepreneurship major and a Global Business co-major. Not a safety, but a little less reachy than Babson so not outside the range of your list, and meets need. Syracuse, similarly competitive, could also be worth a try (Entrepreneurship & Emerging Enterprises major).

Agreed that Delaware could be a good one to look at if it would be affordable.

Maybe U of Denver, whose two greatest strengths are Business and International Relations. The Pioneer Leadership cohort program is not purely stats-based - might be possible if your EC’s impress.
