Miami University's Farmer School of Business is ranked 24th out of 511 accredited programs in BusinessWeek magazine's third annual survey of the nation's best undergraduate business programs and ranked 8th among business programs offered by public universities and colleges in the United States.
In addition to being in the nation's top 5 percent, the Farmer School was the only Ohio institution in the top 25 and one of only two Ohio institutions in the top 50. Case Western Reserve University was 41st.
"Rankings are a reality and increasingly viewed as important by prospective students, faculty and employers," said Farmer School Dean Roger L. Jenkins. "This year we moved significantly higher in the BusinessWeek survey, which measures many aspects of the educational experience such as quality of teaching, student satisfaction, recruiter satisfaction, number of hours students spend studying, quality of facilities and services and student-faculty ratio. Ultimately, though, what is most valuable to us in the rankings process is the feedback we get from those surveyed: our students and the recruiters who hire our graduates."
Jenkins added that the Farmer School's presence in the top 25 was due to the hard work and entrepreneurial spirit of its faculty and staff, as well as to the university's and school's commitment to excellence in teaching. "Continuous improvement has become a key part of our culture," he said. "We also have outstanding support from our alumni and business partners, who share our vision and have invested their time, talent and treasure in helping us move 'from good to great.'"
Among individual measurements, Miami's academic quality was ranked 14th and its recruiter survey rank was 10.
