BGSU’s College of Business continues to be among the top business schools in the country according to the premier publication that evaluates and ranks business schools across the country. The Princeton Review recently published its newest guidebook "Best 294 Business Schools: 2012 Edition" and again recognizes BGSU among the best. In fact, when rated by The Princeton Review on the critically important characteristics of Academic Experience and Admissions Selectivity, BGSU is one of the top two business colleges in Ohio, rating above 90 in both of those criteria.

According to David Chatfield, director of the Graduate and Executive Programs in Business, "Our scores in the ratings have been consistently strong since the ratings were first reported eight years ago and have secured BGSU`s rating as number two in Ohio, a position we believe serves our students very well."

Chatfield explains the high ratings. "A key feature of BGSU’s Executive and Professional MBA programs is the requirement that all students have significant career experience prior to admission. Students share the classroom with other working professionals who have been in the workforce for years, and they come from diverse career backgrounds, adding to a richer learning environment. It greatly enhances the career relevance of our courses for our students."   

Also noted in the BGSU profile in the guidebook is the consensus among the students surveyed that the College’s MBA classes are "cutting-edge" and students receive "solid preparation in doing business in a global economy."

According to The Princeton Review Senior VP-Publisher, Robert Franek, "We chose the 294 business schools in this book based on our high opinion of their academic programs and offerings, as well as our review of institutional data we collect from the schools. We also strongly consider the candid opinions of students attending the schools who rate and report on their campus experiences at their schools on our survey for the book."
