Incoming Class Profile
Fisher takes a holistic approach when reviewing applications, and these stats should serve as a general guide only. We enroll students with a wide range of grade point averages, years of work experience, ages, undergrad degrees and professional backgrounds. Also, we have GMAT/GRE/EA test waivers available for those who qualify. Email us at mba@fisher.osu.edu to discuss your fit.
Important: The WPMBA program is open to those currently employed. Having at least two years of post-baccalaureate work experience is recommended (class average below). We can make admission exceptions for a handful of students actively seeking employment to return to the workplace. View application requirements.
