Ohio Northern University’s Dicke College of Business Administration has been ranked No. 45 in the nation by Bloomberg Businessweek in the publication’s annual ranking of undergraduate business programs. This ranking is up 27 spots from the previous year. In addition, the report shows that 68.8 percent of graduates of the Dicke College of Business Administration now work for the company for which they interned.

“This ranking is a reflection of the high quality of work and effort done by our students, faculty and staff,” said Dr. Jim Fenton, dean of the Dicke College of Business Administration. “It also reflects the support that we have received from the ONU administration and our dedicated alumni network, particularly those who have employed our interns and graduates. Truly, for the college to receive such a ranking is an achievement based on a total team effort.”

Bloomberg Businessweek uses four measures to rank these programs, including surveys of senior business majors and corporate recruiters, median starting salaries for graduates, and the number of graduates who had at least one business-related internship during college. Employer surveys account for 40 percent, student surveys for 35 percent, starting salary for 15 percent and internship for 10 percent of the total score.
