SCH Production in Turner College's Graduate Business Programs Down 35% from Last Fall

We continue our look at enrollment issues in the Turner College's graduate business programs by looking back to a Turner Business post from 11-August of 2025. That post examined SCH production by Turner College faculty across all fall 2025 course sections in the MBA and MSOL programs. As that post noted, all sections from fall 2025 generated 1,233 SCH. The table below provides the same information for fall 2026, but in a slightly different way. The fall 2025 numbers are included for comparison, while some revenue figures are added to the analysis. The shaded entries denote staffing adjustments.


As the table above indicates, SCH production in all but one of the MBA and MSOL program course sections for the fall 2026 is down, and in some cases quite dramatically so. While total SCH production for fall 2025 was 1,233, the same set of courses are generating only 801 SCH this coming fall (i.e., fall 2026). Last fall, tuition and fees from these courses came to $557,316. So far, this fall's offerings will be generating only $362,052, down 35% from last fall.

New Butler Center Report Identifies Employment Gaps in the Columbus Area

Officials in the Turner College's Butler Center for Research and Economic Development recently put the finishing touches on an extensive report on trends in educational programs and occupations in the Columbus area. The report also includes data on business and technology trends.  According to Fady Mansour , Director of the Butler Center, there are several key takeaways from the report regarding 10 occupational gaps that currently exist in the Columbus area. First,  software development occupation exhibits the biggest labor shortage, with the report adding that the TSYS School has a bachelor's degree program in information technology along with a new AI track for the bachelor's degree in computer science, both of which can qualify students for this occupation.

Turner Business Chats with Kevin Hurt about Leadership Research Program

Our 5 September 2025 profile of Turner College management professor Kevin Hurt has been a popular one here at Turner Business . That blog post focused mainly on the  portfolio of leadership research that he has  steadily built up over recent years into one that is unmatched in the Turner College. We recently visited with Hurt to discuss his research endeavors. The transcript of that visit appears below. TB: ‎ Turner Business recently profiled your growing list of research publications in leadership. What would be your assessment of how your research program in leadership has gone so far?

It was the latter that inspired me to leave a Fortune 500 corporation and seek...
