Why we chose it: The "granddaddy of cross-disciplinary studies," this Ivy offers more than 40 entrepreneurship courses in such areas as chemistry, communications, hotel administration, law, and textile design. "The curriculum at Cornell taught me how to approach design from many, many angles," says Malia Mills, 40, who studied apparel design as an undergrad before starting her New York-based swimwear company (maliamills.com).
