Ohio State University : MBA

The Fisher College of Business has more than 100 tenure-track faculty members, which does not include the numerous lecturers and leaders from the business world we invite to share their knowledge with our MBA students.

Our faculty is committed to innovation and to developing cutting-edge theory. They author acclaimed publications. And they fundamentally influence the way leadership and management are practiced. In class, they draw on a variety of teaching methods and real-world experiences to challenge your assumptions and prepare you to lead business practices in the future.

Leaders And Innovators In Their Field
As diverse as their backgrounds is the wide range of interests and expertise our faculty has to offer. Fisher faculty members are internationally recognized leaders in the study of supply chain and logistics, operations management, strategic management and leadership, corporate and investment finance, marketing, human resources, organizational behavior, and economics.

They are active in national and international business communities, serving as consultants, board members, and key speakers at conferences and seminars. And you will have exclusive access to the latest research before it even filters into the business world.

Hands-On And Interactive
Our professors use a mix of lecture, case study, and hands-on learning, selecting the methods best suited for the topic and the experience level of students. Some are also creating and adopting innovative new teaching tools and simulations.

Collaboration flourishes across disciplines within Fisher College and around the university, generating new and better ideas. Our faculty is closely affiliated with the business world, whether through their consulting activities or involvement in our centers of excellence, or as members on the board of both start-up firms and Fortune 500 companies. And those ideas flow quickly into the classroom as fuel for fresh, dynamic courses and excellent teaching.

Up-close And Personal
With our 3-to-1 student-to-faculty ratio, you will have more contact with business thought leaders than in most other MBA programs. As a student you will learn first-hand about the latest research insights — and will even be able to influence it through your contributions in class and through projects and joint publication opportunities.

As a rule, professors have an open-door policy, which will allow you to engage in one-on-one dialogue and to share your thoughts and insights first-hand. There are ample opportunities to socialize with faculty, whether at an informal school picnic or during our regularly scheduled "coffee and a bagel" events in the MBA student lounge with faculty from different departments. These are just some of the many advantages of joining a smaller MBA program.
