How do we tie it all together? As a Fisher MBA student, I began my journey alongside experienced and accomplished classmates from all walks of life. Our cohort includes PhDs in engineering, successful entrepreneurs, and emerging leaders from a variety of industries across the world. This dynamic learning environment tests our abilities to devise impactful solutions for both traditional and newly emerging business challenges.

As our Director Dr. Lori Kendall says, “Our MBAs are Day-Zero Ready” – her vision is reflected well in the structure of our MBA program.

When I told my boss that I will be applying for an MBA, he questioned me: “Why an MBA? What do you expect to gain out of it?” This was my fifth year in the organization, and I was doing quite well in my role. At this point, I was working directly with the top leaders in my organization and had some great career opportunities coming ahead. The question really was about what would this degree offer beyond my career trajectory? These questions echo in the mind of every professional seeking to integrate an MBA into their career path.
