Kiplinger magazine ranked Cincinnati best bet for “hot spots” and among the 10 greatest cities for young adults
Top Talent, Top Teachers A key reason why so many of our programs are so highly ranked is our faculty. Our faculty is comprised of both leading-edge thinkers from the business world and award-winning researchers. Our professors don’t just teach from the textbooks, they write the textbooks. Perhaps that’s why terms they coin are added to Webster’s Dictionary and why their expertise is cited by national media outlets including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, ABC News and CBS Sports.
