Fisher MBA program moves up 20 places in two years in Financial Times global ranking |
Fisher ranked 40th in the U.S. and 67th globally in the 2010 Financial Times MBA rankings released on Jan. 25 by the London-based financial newspaper.
In 2008, Fisher was ranked 87th globally by the publication, marking a 20-place climb in the survey in the last two years. It was 57th among U.S. schools in 2008 rising 17 places over two years.
Data for the Financial Times rankings were compiled from two main sources: questionnaires sent to the school and alumni who graduated three years ago.
According to the publication: “this year a total of 156 business schools met the criteria for participation and completed the school survey provided. Some 21,328 alumni, of the graduating class of 2006, were then asked to complete an alumni survey and just over 8,000 responses were submitted.”
Three main areas are analyzed to create the top 100: alumni salaries and career development; the diversity and international reach of the business school and its MBA program; and the research capabilities of each school.

A new graduate student organization launched in the middle of the summer is springing into action during the Winter Quarter.
Innovation Fisher is the graduate student-led organization at Fisher devoted to innovation practice and providing students with the skills and experience needed to be successful as business leaders.
David Shaw, president of the group and a second-year MBA candidate, said: “Today’s business world is more and more reliant on innovation and new ways of thinking. Members are exposed to real-world innovation centers and their day-to-day activities through site visits over the course of the year.”
Innovation Fisher’s inaugural event was a site visit to OhioHealth’s Center for Medical Education and Innovation on Jan. 8. Twenty students listened to a presentation on OhioHealth's approach to promoting internal innovation before touring the experimentation and training labs at the Center's facility at Riverside Hospital in Columbus.
