Farmer School of Business again ranked among top 20 public undergraduate business schools
The recently released 2025 rankings from Poets & Quants for Undergrads has again placed the Farmer School of Business at Miami University among the nation’s top 20 public business schools.
The Farmer School ranks No. 18 among public schools, No. 7 in the Midwest, and No. 1 in Ohio. It also ranks at No. 7 for academic experiences among public schools in 2025.
“We’re proud to be recognized among the top public business schools, ranking in the top five nationally for both student skill development and signature learning experiences. This affirms the impact of our First-Year Integrated Core, global programs, and wide-ranging co-curricular opportunities,” said Jenny Darroch, dean of the Farmer School and Mitchell P. Rales chair in business leadership. “We hear this consistently from our students and alumni—that their time here was well worth the investment and a powerful launchpad for both personal and professional growth.
Poets & Quants noted FSB’s First-Year Integrated Core’s impact and the opportunities for students to have “signature experiences” during their school career.
“The Farmer School of business does a tremendous job of preparing students for the business world. Simultaneously, they do an exceptional job at developing well-rounded students,” one graduate told P&Q in a survey taken as part of the rankings process. Another said they had a “truly amazing experience. Came out of the business school with confidence and ability to deal with ambiguity. Amazing community of professors who want their students to succeed. Loved the real-life projects.”
“This recognition reflects the strength of our entire learning ecosystem—where faculty, staff, peers, alumni, and employers come together to create immersive, hands-on experiences that build real-world skills and set our students apart,” Darroch said.
Poets & Quant’s undergraduate business school rankings are based on three categories they believe best measure the undergrad business school experience: the quality and diversity of students enrolling in a program (Admissions Standards); the ability of a business school to nurture, challenge, and grow those young minds (Academic Experience); and how the market and world’s top employers respond to those graduates when leaving the school (Career Outcomes). Each category is given an equal weight in the final score of 33.3%.
