Master Programme
Full-Time MBA
The Michigan Ross Full-Time MBA is a two-year, 57-credit program. The first year is a sequenced core in financial and management accounting, applied microeconomics, business statistics, corporate strategy, marketing, financial management, operations and organisational behaviour, and ends with the seven-week Multidisciplinary Action Projects (MAP), in which teams consult on a real business problem for a company. After a summer business experience, the second year is mainly electives, with optional concentrations such as AI, ESG, data and business analytics, and a STEM-designated management science specialization.
