"My favorite part of the Fisher MBA program was having such a diverse and interesting class to learn from. Collaborating with groups who had such varied backgrounds helped me develop my critical thinking skills and take holistic approaches to solving problems. With the smaller class size of Fisher, I had the opportunity to work closely with virtually all of my classmates whether in class, experiential learning, or club involvement. "
Mark McClain Sr. Consultant (Deloitte)
Coming from a non-traditional background, Fisher’s MBA program was the key to getting my foot in the door—not only to the business world, but to one of the top companies in the CPG industry. Beyond a fulfilling career, Fisher has given me personal and professional relationships that will surely last a lifetime.
Arianna Venkatesan Senior Brand Manager (P&G)
After graduating from the SMF program and starting my career, I implemented many of the technical skills I learned at Fisher and used Macro to help the IT team complete a complicated "Poison Pill Project." Later on, the soft skills I learned while in the program, especially networking and interview skills, helped me land highly desirable offers and continually use my financial skills to back up my teams' projects.
Mia Yu Principle Product Manager - AI (Oracle)
Fisher's MHRM program provided incredible opportunities to immerse myself in the world of business and human resources. I valued how I was connected to experiences to network with dedicated professionals from various industries and the greater Columbus area. My time in the program has influenced my ability to adapt and be successful working in Human Resources after making a career pivot. I am proud to be an alum of this program!
Kamilah Champion Manager - Corp. Learning (Wendy's Company)
The MAcc program at Fisher was everything I sought in a Master of Accountancy program and more. It prepared me intellectually for my career through academic courses that weren’t simply accounting “how-to’s” but instead emphasized a mindset of curiosity and questioning I can apply even today. The flexibility of the academic electives also allowed me to take courses outside of accounting, further expanding my interests in other fields such as AI and Management. Lastly, the resources provided through Fisher, such as the Office of Career Management, were critical in helping me land the job that I am at today. I would not be where I am today if it were not for the MAcc program.
Ian Tan Assurance Staff (EY)
"The WPMBA program has given me so much more confidence in my leadership skills and ability and I immediately put those to use at work. Meeting so many other students from different walks of life and different industries has made me a better leader. The chance to take classes such as coaching, crucial conversations, and other leadership classes as well as the experience of traveling to Washington, D.C. for a week made this program well worth it, and I am proud to call myself a Fisher MBA graduate."
Matt Stuckey Senior Process Engineer (Wexner)
“As a single working mother, the flexibility of the WPMBA program was vital to my success. I was able to accelerate and personalize my program (during a pandemic), while focusing on subject matter that was most relevant and interesting to me. Completing the WPMBA program at Fisher was one of the best personal and professional decisions of my life."
Ashley Bersani Assoc. Strategy Partner (Cleveland Clinic)
The knowledge I gained in the courses crucial conversations, negotiations, as well as navigating diverse group projects helped me in my current position as a military officer. The experience helped hone and refine my management and communication skills, allowing me to be more effective and better support the various teams under my responsibility.
Nate Quellhorst Comptroller/Executive Officer (U.S. Coast Guard)
Without my time in the Fisher MBA program, I would not have been able to make the transition from working in the non-profit sector to a career in consulting. The resources, relationships, knowledge, and support I received throughout my two years in the program gave me the confidence and ability to pursue my goals, and I am continually grateful I decided to make the investment in my education at OSU.
Kate Morales Vice President - Performance Consulting (JPMorgan Chase)
The SMB-A program was one of the best decisions I've made in my career, both for professional and personal growth. From a professional lens, the graduate degree led to me being able to take the next step in my career as a data scientist. The SMB-A program challenged me to think and work harder than I had before, resulting in skills I use to this day and will use for many years going forward. The program's hybrid format was ahead of its time, and I cannot speak highly enough of the condensed 10-month timeline. The program faculty are some of the best I've worked with. For anyone looking to transition into an analytics career, or take the next step in their career that is already in data science, the SMB-A program is the perfect step for just that.
