The School of Business offers a number of customized options that will lead to a Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree. The MBA program is designed for students who want flexibility while gaining relevant knowledge and skills that can be applied immediately in the workplace. Courses are typically offered weeknights with some online courses. The School of Business is known for preparing exceptional graduates because of our commitment to achieving excellence in business education. Fisher has decades of experience graduating hundreds of MBA candidates who have gone on to become great leaders.
Flexibility: Fisher offers the flexibility for students to customize their schedule to leverage available learning time. Students can study part-time or full-time to complete the program in potentially as little as one year or take up to six years if needed.
To better serve the needs of current and potential students, the Master of Business Administration program at St. John Fisher College will be transitioning to an online format, starting in the Fall 2021 year; this transition is expected to be completed by Fall 2022. As St. John Fisher College has long prided itself on its quality interaction between student and instructor, the courses in the MBA program are constructed in such a way as to mix live, synchronous instruction in a virtual classroom with asynchronous content and assignments.
Concentrations: The School of Business lets you select an area of concentration within your MBA. We currently offer concentrations in:
- Accounting*
- General Management
- Health Systems Management
- Pharmaceutical Industry
* Only the accounting concentration prepares students for CPA licensure in New York state.
Accelerated Time to Degree: Individuals with appropriate undergraduate preparation in business may be able to reduce the number of foundation courses taken in the MBA program. Students with an undergraduate business major or who have a baccalaureate degree in business, may qualify for a fast-track program that allows the completion of the MBA within a year of completing an undergraduate business degree.
