Michigan Ross leans hard on learning by doing, and its MBA core ends with MAP, a seven-week project in which student teams work on a real problem for a company or nonprofit. The school is on Tappan Avenue at the University of Michigan's central campus in Ann Arbor. Undergraduates can be admitted to the BBA as first-year students. The graduate range covers the MBA, Master of Management, Master of Accounting and Master of Supply Chain Management.

Ross is a short walk from State Street and the Diag, the University of Michigan's central lawn. Main Street, the Huron River and the Nichols Arboretum are all within reach on foot or by bike.
Ann Arbor is a college town with cold, snowy winters and huge football Saturdays at Michigan Stadium. Detroit's airport is about 30 minutes away, and rent near campus is high for the Midwest.

Undergraduates apply to Michigan by 1 November for Early Action or 1 February for Regular Decision. The MBA and specialised master's programmes admit in rounds from autumn to spring; international applicants should aim for the first or second round.
Undergraduates and MBA students start in late August. Some specialised master's programmes start in summer, so check each programme.
You'll need an F-1 visa. Once you accept your offer and send proof of funding, the University of Michigan issues the Form I-20. After that it's the SEVIS fee, the DS-160 form and an interview at a US embassy or consulate.
The BBA, MBA, Master of Management, Master of Accounting and Master of Supply Chain Management are popular. The MBA needs work experience and a GMAT or GRE score, while the specialised master's degrees suit recent graduates. Most international applicants need an English test.
Ross offers merit fellowships to MBA and master's applicants, including international students. International undergraduates get very limited aid from Michigan.
