What our students say:
Emmanuel Gebremeskel, MIB 2021
“Back in Ethiopia, the presence of foreign direct investment manifested as visible changes in the country. If I want to make a long-term impact in sub-Saharan Africa, which I consider my life mission, I need to understand how these multinational corporations operate. The Fletcher School was a good place to lay the foundations. It has rigorous courses around international finance and banking, and the curriculum on diplomacy and international relations provides a global context.”
Marilia Ramos, MIB 2024
“I chose Fletcher because it allows me to study business in an interdisciplinary curriculum. Nowadays, everything is connected, so you cannot talk about business or the environment or security in isolation; these subjects overlap, and Fletcher allows me to study all of these subjects through a business lens. The conversations that I have had with my classmates have opened my eyes to new perspectives. People come from different backgrounds, cultures, and countries, and it opens your mind to new approaches and solutions to problems.”
