School has diversity but lacks inclusion. Many minority and international students felt they did not fit in due to lack of inclusion from domestic students, which is mostly made up of Ohio residents. -- Operations
Fisher's association with Ohio State is a major asset, as every corner of the world has an OSU alum who will warmly welcome a contact from another Buckeye. This is a treasure many "larger" programs can't truly boast about. -- Information Technology
The program is very nicely structured and classes are good, but some of the admission focus is shifting to young and very young students being admitted to the course with minimal experience, which can lead to immature class behavior. -- Consulting
Although I had some issues and was to some degree a ?problem child,? the Fisher faculty stuck with me. I wouldn't trade that environment for the world. -- Marketing
Of all the schools that I applied to, Ohio State was the most welcoming. Schools that I had interviewed at were disrespectful to me if they thought I didn't fit into their ?mold.? Ohio State valued the unique qualities and experiences I brought to the table. -- Finance
The school needs more diversity in the companies that recruit here. Nearly everyone is from the Midwest. -- Marketing
Having lived in Ohio prior to starting my MBA, I am proud to be enrolled in Ohio's most prestigious and highest-ranked MBA program. My ability to qualify for in-state tuition and some financial assistance over and above that has made this degree very affordable with an incredible ROI, in terms of salary and other professional benefits. -- Marketing
I did not have a business background prior to attending b-school, and I also knew I would be pursuing a non-traditional career path: HR in the non-profit sector. Fisher allowed me to customize my curriculum and take classes outside the business college. -- Nonprofit
The faculty was outstanding. A review of their resumes will reveal excellent experience and alumni from the top business schools in the world. -- Finance
Some professors are not very good at teaching, and some students did not display the kind of behavior you'd expect to see at an MBA school (i.e., no sense of responsibility). Fisher also recruited many students who did not have work experience. -- Operations
The small class size provides ample opportunity for learning, leadership experience, and networking. -- Marketing
Fisher truly delivers on its promise of the benefits of a small class size without sacrificing the access to an excellent recruiter base. -- Marketing
Over the past 18 months, I have learned from world-renown faculty, interacted with senior leadership at Fortune 500 companies and start-ups, and networked with a tight-knit group of MBA's. I?ve also had access to the entire Ohio State University community for programming and additional classes. I couldn't imagine having gone to another program. -- Consulting
Because Fisher is a small program, some classes have limited availability. -- Finance
The regional recruiting base meant that students looking for careers outside the Midwest had to work extra hard on their own, which was the case for me. But the raw resources were available to achieve the ends I sought. -- Consulting
