Practical application of knowledge is key in the professional development of SMF students. In the blog I highlight how the program balances theoretical learning with real-world experience. Projects such as the Capstone Project, Project Financing, and real client experiences allow the application of fundamental financial analysis, testing our ability to evaluate companies’ strategies, capital structure, financial results, and stock prices. The only way to know if you are ready is by exposing yourself to these real-world challenges.

Before the MAcc Program
Choosing a graduate program is a big decision. A year ago, I was in the same position as many prospective students—researching different programs, weighing my options, and trying to figure out the best next step for my career. Looking back now, as I approach graduation, I can confidently say that choosing the Fisher MAcc Program at The Ohio State University was one of the best decisions I’ve made.

I’m frequently asked whether Fisher’s Specialized Master in Finance program is a quantitative or qualitative skill-based program. What should you expect? What should you seek? While quantitative expertise in data analysis, financial modeling, and risk management is crucial, qualitative skills like leadership, communication, and emotional intelligence are just as important for navigating complex business decisions. I hope my experience and perspectives can help you improve yours.
