The Max M. Fisher College of Business is the business school of Ohio State University, a public research university in Columbus, Ohio. Fisher's campus is located on the northern part of the university within a partially enclosed business campus adjacent to St. John Arena. It is composed of brick buildings loosely arranged in a quadrangle. The 370,000-square-foot (34,000 m2) complex is the largest multi-building project ever undertaken by the university. Fisher is one of the founding members of the AACSB.
Established in 1916 as the College of Commerce and Journalism, the college was renamed in 1993 for Max M. Fisher, a 1930 Ohio State graduate who led efforts to provide a $20 million gift to the college. By design, it enrolls about 120 full-time Master of Business Administration (MBA) students each year. It also enrolls nearly 8,000 full-time undergraduate students and has nearly 83,000 living alumni.
