Farmer School of Business

The Farmer School of Business at Miami University consistently ranks among the top public business schools in the nation. Known for their "student first" focus, and innovative teaching methods, Farmer's hallmarks are small class sizes, experiential learning programs, and high job placement rates. Farmer views international study as an integral curriculum component, and more than sixty percent of their students study abroad. These experiences translate into graduates who enter the professional workplace with business knowledge, leadership skills, and maturity frequently compared to typical MBA graduates.

What Current Students Say See All 15 Comments >

There are many, many things that contribute to the strength of our business program. From the professors, to the recruiters on campus, to the caliber of our classmates. But above all I would place the culture of our student body as key to our success. We have a very engaged, very active, very professional, work hard - play hard culture. I think this is developed and cultivated through our strong student organizations.
