Wright State business school ranked in ‘Global 100’
Wright State University’s business school has been named to the Aspen Institute’s “Global 100.”
Wright State’s Raj Soin College of Business ranked 56th in the 2001-2010 edition of “Beyond Grey Pinstripes,” a biennial survey and popular alternative ranking of full-time MBA programs, released Wednesday, Oct. 21.
The ranking looks beyond reputation and test scores to measure how well schools are preparing their students for the environmental, social and ethical complexities of modern-day business, according to the institute.
The Ohio State University’s Fisher College of Business was ranked 24th.
Other business schools on the list include those at Yale, Stanford, Berkeley, Notre Dame and Duke Universities.
“This recognition underscores the quality of our faculty, curriculum, students and alumni,” said Berkwood Farmer, dean of the Raj Soin College of Business, in a media release.
Wright State’s Institute for Business Integrity provides programs, expertise and resources to improve moral competency in business education and in the business community, Farmer said.
“Our faculty integrates ethical decision making throughout the entire MBA curriculum, plus our program places a strong emphasis on social issues and leadership,” he said.
According to the institute, 149 business schools from 24 countries participated in the survey about teaching and research on issues pertaining to business and society.
School highlights from the Beyond Grey Pinstripes survey are featured in a new guidebook for prospective MBA students, “The Sustainable MBA,” available on the Aspen Institute’s publication Web site.

I don’t get it? A UD graduate can fart and it makes DDN headlines but this gets relegated to the blogs? I guess this explains why the third Business page headline reads “UD Students to be Urged to View Business as a Calling.” Maybe they should have gone to Wright State instead?

UrbanDweller: This is typical of the local media. Anything UD or in the south suburbs takes precedence. Did anyone report that Northmont’s music education program was one of the top 125 in the COUNTRY. If this were Centerville of Oakwood it would have been reported

I laugh at all the different business school rankings. There’s lots of them… Top companies hire from the top schools as they see fit (those who hire tend to hire from their schools). Our company hires MBAs from several local schools. We’re fortunate enough to have many very good local business schools. Our loose ranking of local schools/MBA programs are as follows: XU, IU, Miami, UD, ND, OSU, WSU and UK but ultimately it’s the quality of the indiviual AND WORK EXPERIENCE that matters. Obviously, U of Chicago, Stanford, the Ivy league schools and others are at the top of the list but the locals are gaining fast. The jury’s still out on the online schools like U of Pheonix. Hard to dispell value of teaching face-to-face for an MBA program. FYI: We have a very good manager/director who’s a U of Pheonix grad.
