Ohio State University

After receiving a gift from alumnus Max M. Fisher in 1993, Ohio State's business school—established in 1933—was named the Max M. Fisher College of Business. Students enrolled in the MBA program at Ohio State's Fisher College of Business are usually attracted to a more personalized MBA experience; small class sizes with access to resources available at a large research institutions.

The Fisher College of Business is located at the northern entrance of the Ohio State main campus. The 370,000-square-foot, five-building complex is the largest multi-building project ever undertaken by the university. To get a feel for what the Fisher school is like, take our virtual tour.

Ohio State UniversityAfter almost months of investigations, Ohio State University revealed that it is notifying about 760,000 students, professors, and other employees that their names and Social Security numbers may have been stolen. The university will spend $4 million to pay for the investigation and credit-protection services for those who have been affected by the attack, which is one of the largest to hit a university.

In late October, the university discovered suspicious activity on a primary computer server containing Social Security numbers, addresses, birth dates, and names of three quarters of a million people. These included students, faculty, applicants, contractors, and even consultants. Investigators can find no evidence that any of the data was seen, copied, or taken by the hackers. Evidence suggests that they hacked the server to try and use it to launch attacks on businesses and other computers. Still, it is impossible to be sure so Ohio State will offer 12 month credit protection to everyone affected by the hack.
