A large and diverse college lends itself to a large and diverse business program. I have had the opportunity to work on group work with people from not only Ohio, but Australia, England, China, South Korea, Japan, and a litany of other countries. Combined with a strong core of business classes, I feel Fisher has prepared me well for the job market.

Almost all the business professors are more concerned with helping you get a job than worrying about what grade to give you. They give real-life examples and teach through their own personal experiences. Another awesome feature of Ohio State's business school is the professors' willingness to meet with a student outside the classroom

Although The Ohio State University is one of the nation's largest universities, the Fisher College of Business is unique in its ability to make students truly feel like the top priority and not just a number. The Fisher College of Business has the ability to utilize the vast resources of a large research institution like The Ohio State University to bring the most up-to-date teaching methods, coursework,case studies, and professors with research and industry experience. As a result, students benefit from a business learning environment that is ahead of the curve and produces individuals who value excellence and a commitment to their communities. I certainly believe that many of our world's future leaders start here at the Fisher College of Business.
