The Princeton Review surveyed students at business schools across the nation about their school’s academics, student body, campus life, and their own career plans. NKU earned high marks from students for its rigorous curriculum and experienced faculty, as well as small class sizes and flexible scheduling: “The student is the top priority,” one student said.

“It is an honor to be included again in The Princeton Review’s The Best 295 Business Schools,” said Dr. Rebecca I. Porterfield, dean of the NKU Haile/US Bank College of Business. “This recognition is a testament to our excellent faculty and staff, as well as to our partnerships in the Greater Cincinnati business community.”

The Haile/US Bank College of Business offers undergraduate programs in traditional business disciplines as well as specialty programs in Entrepreneurship, Sports Business, and Construction Management.
