ADMISSIONS<br />

PROGRAM COSTS<br />

The program cost for the 2015–2017 EMBA degree<br />

program will be determined in Spring 2015. The<br />

orientation residency, instructional materials, and some<br />

on-campus meals are included in the fee. Lodging during<br />

the on-campus weekends is not included; however, the<br />

Blackwell Inn at Fisher offers special nightly rates to<br />

FINANCIAL AID<br />

EMBA students are generally eligible to apply for $20,500<br />

in unsubsidized loans per academic year. Eligibility for<br />

most financial aid requires that you be a U.S. citizen<br />

or eligible non-citizen. The remaining fees can also be<br />

obtained through financial aid in the form of Graduate<br />

Plus Loans.<br />

Unsubsidized—A cost-based loan in which interest<br />

accrues while in school. The maximum loan per academic<br />

year is $20,500.<br />

Complete information about student financial aid can be<br />

found on the website of the Office of Student Financial<br />

Aid at sfa.osu.edu.<br />

TEST SCORES<br />

GMAT<br />

The GMAT is not required, but some candidates may<br />

be asked at the program’s discretion and at any time<br />

during the application process to take the GMAT if<br />

grades or academic history warrants. Request a personal<br />

consultation if you are unsure whether you will be required<br />

to take the GMAT. Have the test scores sent directly to<br />

Fisher College of Business, School Code #ZLJ-9D-47. If you<br />

have any questions about the need for the GMAT, contact<br />

Mara McKee.<br />

TOEFL<br />

Candidates whose native language is not English must<br />

demonstrate fluency in English by taking the TOEFL. If<br />

you hold an undergraduate or graduate degree from a U.S.<br />

institution, you may be eligible for a waiver of the TOEFL.<br />

Contact Mara McKee for additional information.<br />

Any student who feels s/he may need an accommodation based on the impact<br />

of a disability should contact the academic director privately to discuss your<br />

specific needs. The program will work with the Office for Disability Services at<br />

for students with documented disabilities.<br />
