communication tools.
Q: What is the overall teaching philosophy?
Faculty members from the College of Business at FSU develop and teach all graduate
courses. Nationally and internationally recognized by their peers and industry
leaders worldwide, FSU College of Business faculty believe in dynamic teaching – enhanced
by extensive business experience and academic research. More importantly, they
work one-on-one with their students, offering a level of personal interaction
that sets FSU apart from its peers. Our faculty guarantees that students are
exposed to top-level executives and business thought leaders.
Q: How are examinations given?
In general, examinations are given online. However, professors may choose to
have examinations proctored. Students are responsible for obtaining proctors
for their exams. Information on proctored exams can be found by clicking here.
Questions about proctored exams should go to testing@oddl.fsu.edu.
Q: Can I transfer courses from other schools?
We can accept up to six (6) graduate credit hours from an AACSB accredited university, provided they
are no more than seven (7) years old and you received a grade of "B" or
higher. If courses previously counted toward a degree, they cannot be transferred.
Professional designation courses do not transfer for credit.
