Integrated & Cross-Functional
A hallmark of an effective business leader is their ability to think creatively and cross-functionally when approaching a business challenge or decision. Fisher’s MBA program design is intentional in highlighting the intersections between core subjects as applied to multi-faceted business challenges.

Real-World Cross-Functional Learning
Culminating Business Challenge
In the final semester of the program, all Full-Time MBA candidates take the Max Problem Solving course. The purpose of this capstone course is to examine the most challenging problems in society, to understand them through a business lens, and to develop/propose solutions using application of business concepts and knowledge gleaned throughout the program.
Oftentimes, business students are trained to look for the single best solution to a problem. However, people are complex, and so is each situation. In my classes, I emphasize the importance of combining one’s own and others’ experiences with scientific methodology and evidence to evaluate management practices and make management decisions.
