Working Professional MBA

WPMBA Testimonials

“The Working Professional MBA program has been a game-changer for me. It's the perfect blend of learning the ropes of leadership, management, and operations while practicing those theories at my own business. In my leadership class, I learned about delivering inspirational messages. Not only have I applied those skills that same day, but also I have trained my managers to use them. We had a 28% increase in sales on the second day. There's something incredibly rewarding about applying what I learned in class to my business on the very same day."

"The WPMBA program has given me so much more confidence in my leadership skills and ability and I immediately put those to use at work. Meeting so many other students from different walks of life and different industries has made me a better leader. The chance to take classes such as coaching, crucial conversations, and other leadership classes as well as the experience of traveling to Washington, D.C. for a week made this program well worth it, and I am proud to call myself a Fisher MBA graduate."

“As a single working mother, the flexibility of the WPMBA program was vital to my success. I was able to accelerate and personalize my program (during a pandemic), while focusing on subject matter that was most relevant and interesting to me. Completing the WPMBA program at Fisher was one of the best personal and professional decisions of my life."

“The WPMBA program at Ohio State’s Fisher College of Business has been invaluable in preparing me for my transition into a new role and industry. From developing management skills to understanding statistical concepts, the program gave me tangible skills and knowledge that have given me the confidence to excel in a new role. Not only so, it was a great way to network and meet colleagues of different disciplines who share the same passion!"

“As an engineering professor, I felt knowledge gaps in coaching my students, effective communication, and professional management. Being able to join the Fisher Working Professional MBA program is one of the best things that has happened in my life. The WPMBA program has provided me with professional frameworks and knowledge of business management, effective coaching and communication, and evidence-based leadership. After graduating with an MBA degree, I was motivated and enabled to expand my contribution to the research mission of my department and college as an administrator. With gratitude, I sincerely wish more professionals can be empowered by the Fisher WPMBA program."

“The WPMBA allowed me to finish something I started as an incoming freshman to Ohio State years ago. The differences between now and then, besides the decades, are how I align academic/career focus, value flexibility, and center family. The program at Fisher allowed me to maintain those priorities and complete my MBA."  

“Attending the Fisher College of Business was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Not only did I make life-long friends, but every day in class I got to sit down and learn alongside students with backgrounds ranging from transplant surgery to entrepreneurship, baking to former special forces operators, and Fortune 500 professionals from all over the country. The size and scale of the Fisher means that there’s always someone nearby from Buckeye nation and the diversity in viewpoints and cultural backgrounds is difficult to overstate. There’s ample opportunity to attend specialized courses taught by world-class faculty and all of these characteristics make it one of the best business schools in the country."
