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.
An integrated MBA experience
Career and Industry Immersion Academies introduce MBA candidates to relevant career pathways while deepening industry knowledge and facilitating meaningful connections to companies through excursions, real-world projects, internships, and networking events. Connect with experts and develop your business acumen specialization areas.
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.
