A Small Program, Big Opportunities
At Fisher College of Business, you experience the best of both worlds; a small, flexible program within a large research university. You have access to our fully integrated, state-of-the-art business campus, the latest technology and all of the resources available at The Ohio State University. You’ll learn from the best – great people, outstanding facilities and an emphasis on innovation and teamwork.
At Fisher, our goal is to help you make this important decision correctly—to help you work through complex and confusing choices to make a decision that enables you to reach your full potential and provide the best opportunity to achieve your educational and career goals.
This concern for the individual is one of the most consistent features of the Fisher MBA program. Although we are among the most selective leading MBA programs, our selectivity is based on many factors, not just your GMAT score. This inclusive approach enables students with a broad range of qualifications to be admitted, allowing you to be a part of a small, elite program where diversity enables you to learn as much from your peers as from your professors, and where ethics always underlies the decision-making skills you’ll learn in class.
In the classroom, our individualized approach enables you to study with professors who actually know who you are. When your unique talents and individual plans require more specialization, you have the option to study independently or to select classes from over 100 other graduate programs at The Ohio State University. You will have every opportunity to learn what you need to in order to realize your dreams.
