Among many others, three main factors differentiate Ross: 1) The opportunity to attend school in the wonderful, close-knit campus town of Ann Arbor. 2) A highly collaborative student body that is passionate about social and environmental issues and how business can be leveraged for positive global impact. 3) The Multi-disciplinary Action Project and many extracurricular activities that push students to apply their MBA skills in ambiguous, new situations that, while often annoying, are highly realistic of challenges we will face in the real world.
