University of Texas
Competitive edge: Many schools sponsor business-plan contests -- UT has the Moot Corp competition. But there's a separate idea-to-product competition for students who can commercialize campus technologies.
Good to know: The spirit of Michael Dell still haunts the campus. If you aren't inclined to try computer or information technology, you might get spooked.
Tuition: $27,764 (out of state), $13,796 (In state)
