Other prominent programs offered through OSU's College of Business include the "Close to the Customer" project, which is a program in market
research designed to provide experimental learning.
"Part of our transformation is that we too are being entrepreneurial," Kleinsorge said.
Another highly successful program is the Austin Entrepreneurship Program which was formed through a generous donation from Ken and Joan Austin in 2002. The program offers one of the nation's first residential colleges devoted exclusively to entrepreneurship.
OSU's College of Business has made a strategic decision that each graduate will understand the entrepreneurial process; this idea is inclusive of innovating a mature company as well as a new business.
The college was also recognized on the "Beyond the Grey Pinstripes" 2007-2008 Global 100 list. "Beyond the Grey Pinstripes" is a research survey that offers an alternative ranking of business schools through the Aspen Institute Center for Business Learning.
The Global 100 list is a way of honoring a number of full-time MBA programs that have been dubbed especially innovative over an 18-month research period.
Today's College of Business at OSU puts an emphasis on trying to develop profession-ready graduates who have an appreciation of what it means to be a business professional and also have experience with different career paths.
"I learned how to learn," said Bernie Newcomb, an OSU College of Business alumnus.
Events such as the centennial celebration aim to give students and the local business community alike the resources to accomplish their goals and propel them into a promising business career.
The hope is that graduates can create a job, not simply attain one, Dean Kleinsorge said.
