Max M. Fisher College of Business, The Ohio State University

At Fisher College of Business, success is defined by the character of its people and connections with the global community. Fisher College’s small classes instill a sense of community and kinship, building a “learning by doing” environment. As a result, graduates add immediate value to their employers and to the world.

Fisher College’s small classes also ensure that students can’t hide in the back of the classroom. Students are encouraged to engage faculty and fellow students in lively debate and to provide valuable input on the state of the program and curriculum.

Over the past year Fisher College has placed even greater emphasis on the importance of ethics, honesty and accountability. In response, students committed to ethical behavior within the college and workplace by creating the college’s first honor code. The students also facilitated fundraisers, hosted charity drives and partnered with companies on volunteer activities.

This community-minded leadership reinforces the fact that Fisher College students create and execute innovative ideas. They are self-motivated leaders who affect positive corporate change. They enjoy challenging our equally motivated professors and take advantage of our faculty’s groundbreaking research. Most importantly, they are risk takers who are not afraid to stand out and make a significant impact on the world.

Fisher College continues to garner international recognition for its ability to produce leaders who reshape the world of business. Intelligence, intensity, collaboration, community and impact not only define the Fisher College experience but the students, faculty, staff, and alumni who embody the Fisher College community.
