FULL-TIME MBA
Curriculum
Three distinct features of our curriculum put the Fisher MBA graduate at the top of the employer's picklist.
1. EXPERIENTIAL | 2. PERSONALIZED | 3. INTEGRATED |
Students chart their MBA journey with the help of success coaches to ensure their curricula, co-curricular and career management activities and programming help achieve their unique career goals. Students get to pick from an exhaustive list of courses that are designed to provide competence in a particular area/field. At Fisher, we call it The MBA Pathways.
