Class of 2012 Student Profiles

Martin Rietzel , 2012, Germany

How I heard about Fletcher: I was planning to apply to traditional business schools when I came across an ad in The Economist about the MIB program. I had never heard of Fletcher before, but after doing a little research it became clear that this was “the” place to study international business with a true interdisciplinary approach. When I eventually visited campus, I was amazed by the atmosphere created by the diverse student body and energetic faculty.

How my experience at Fletcher has changed the way I look at the world: Fletcher has changed the way I look at the world because every issue studied here is viewed through a global lens. Students soon become aware that even apparently domestic business challenges have global implications and solutions. The opportunity to incorporate international law and diplomacy into my business focus is a highly valuable asset and will impact my future career.
