Business Management

Build a broad understanding of business while completing your Fisher degree at one of Ohio State’s regional campuses. Offered through the Lima, Mansfield, Marion and Newark campuses, the business management specialization provides a flexible path to a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from Fisher College of Business.

Rather than concentrating your studies in a single business discipline, you’ll deepen your knowledge across multiple functional areas, developing a well-rounded perspective on how organizations operate and make decisions. The result is a versatile business education that can prepare you for opportunities across industries, organizations and business functions.

Regional campus students can further personalize their education through electives, a minor or other areas of interest across Ohio State. Students who want to pursue another Fisher specialization may also have that option, although some required coursework may need to be completed at the Columbus campus.

Explore the business management specialization below and discover how you can build your Fisher experience at an Ohio State regional campus.
