Graduate Student Organizations

There are many student organizations with which you will have the opportunity to become involved at Ohio State. Within these organizations you will have opportunities for leadership, involvement, and fun outside the classroom. Fisher College Student Organizations include those that focus on particular areas of business (e.g., The MBA Finance Association or Marketing Association); those that represent the interests of various groups (e.g., The MBA Association of Women in Business); as well as organizations that cross all functional areas of business (e.g., Net Impact). Students are encouraged to actively participate in the organization(s) of their choice. For a current listing of graduate student organizations on the current MBA site, click here.

The MBA Association (MBAA) is the umbrella organization for all of the MBA-specific organizations. The MBAA promotes social interaction among all MBA students, their families, faculty, and administrators. All students are automatically members of the MBAA.

In December, the Fisher College of Business elects their delegates to the Council of Graduate Students from the first-year MBA class. These delegates serve a term of one year, and work with graduate students from across campus on issues that directly affect all graduate students. The Council of Graduate Students is recognized by the University as the graduate student government. All students, not just delegates, are invited to participate.

In addition, the Fisher College of Business, along with the College of Social Work, form the Administrative Sciences area of the University. One representative from the Administrative Sciences area is elected to the Council on Research and Graduate Studies and another to the University Senate. They can also be contacted about your concerns.
