What Current Students Say See All 15 Comments >

The Ross undergraduate program is excellent at preparing students for the "real world." Upon graduation, students have worked on countless group projects, collaborating with all different types and sizes of teams. Furthermore, many of the classes offered are very similar to what is offered at the MBA level. We learn the same things, just on a smaller scale.
