We know that selecting a business school is a major decision. As you evaluate your options for MBA study, we invite you to visit the Fisher College of Business. We want to give you the opportunity to experience the Fisher community in person to help you decide whether our program will help you in achieving your personal, educational, and professional goals. Our recruiting weekends are designed to expose you to some of the differentiating factors of the Fisher MBA program and to give us an opportunity to learn more about you.
Fisher Spotlights are “mini” recruiting events that are open to all candidates. During your visit, you will have the chance to learn about the program highlights and the admissions process, hear from some of our distinguished faculty, tour the Fisher campus, interact with current students in a social setting, and network with other prospective students. You will also have the option to meet with an admissions officer for an informational interview prior to the start of the event. As a Spotlight guest, you will be offered an application fee waiver at the end of your visit with us.
After you register for one of the Spotlight events, you will be sent an email with instructions on how to schedule your individual appointment with an admissions officer.
Dates for 2009 Fisher Spotlights (Register Here):
All Spotlight events run from 2:00pm to 8:30pm with dinner included.
