School Reputability Question

Is Miami of Ohio (Farmer) a good B-School?

I know it got a really good ranking in B-Week (18), and even beat IU-Kelley, and OSU-Fischer, among others, but would a degree from there really be comparable to an IU-Kelley degree or #17, #16, or #19 on the list? Also, why is the schoool absent from USNWR rankings?

Any input would be appreciated.

I don't know how B-Week does their rankings, but USNWR rankings are much more in line with the level of opportunity you have at each school.

Farmer is not on par with Kelley at all. It sucks to let one source monopolize how you view colleges, but US News is much more legit and you should probably just look there.

The reason it's absent from USNWR rankings is probably because most of the nation has never heard of it and most top companies don't recruit there. It's really that simple.
