The Value of a Fisher Education
Fisher is known for producing graduates who are not only successful, but also a positive force in the region, across the state, and throughout the nation. The University prepares graduates to meet the challenges of an increasingly complex world. The liberal nature of a Fisher education means they acquire valuable communication, analytic, and problem-solving skills in addition to thorough comprehension within their chosen course of study. In general, class sizes are small, affording students the opportunity to get personal attention from Fisher’s faculty, who are selected for their teaching excellence, scholarly initiatives, and commitment to students.
Nearly 60 percent of Fisher’s 34,000 alumni live and work within 100 miles of Rochester. As a result, current students can rely on a very strong and vital alumni network, eager to contribute to the success of other members of the Fisher community.
The University is also regularly recognized on a national level for academics, value, and social mobility by U.S. News & World Report, The Princeton Review, and more.
