This network is even more beneficial when you graduate, especially if you are beginning a job search. Having the right connections can help you accelerate your career.

•  Students are encouraged to learn about cutting-edge practices by visiting leading hospitals and by doing residencies or internships in a variety of health care organizations. Our distinctive hands-on approach to learning helps students learn by doing and performing under outstanding practitioners like Dr. William E. Ruse, who also teaches in our health care management program and was the CEO and president of Blanchard Valley Health System (one of the top 100 hospitals in the entire United States) for 36 years.

•  Each year, in conjunction with the U.S.-India Conference that The University of Findlay co-sponsors in Chennai, the American faculty visit India and will offer face-to-face seminars to the Indian students in the online program.

This conference provides the opportunity to:

    o  Meet faculty in person

    o  Present and publish papers, as part of our comprehensive emphasis on student academic excellence and research

Business education at The University of Findlay has more than a 100-year history and tradition of excellence. Findlay College, established in 1882, had a “commercial department” as part of its academic program in 1888.

The University of Findlay established its MBA program nearly 20 years ago, in 1993. It was an early adopter of sophisticated Web-based course management technology (like Blackboard and Elluminate) to deliver courses to students online.

One special aspect of Findlay’s India Program is that students can combine their online courses taken in India with seated courses on our Findlay, Ohio, campus, if desired, to compete their degree. Each student in the India Program is able to apply for a visa to study in the United States if they wish to do so.

Our students can also enjoy extensive interaction with faculty and students from the seated Findlay campus MBA program at the annual conference in Chennai.
