"I have gained a life-time of assets during my time at Ross. From the invaluable relationships formed with my classmates who are experienced professionals, to those formed with outstanding professors who have challenged my way of thinking and helped me prepare for a higher management position, Ross' Global MBA Program provides opportunities not found in other MBA programs. At Ross, students have incredible access to resources necessary to shape the future. For instance, I joined Net Impact, the largest student-driven club with a focus on global sustainable enterprise. While pursuing a dual-degree with the School of Natural Resources, I frequently interacted with students from other Michigan programs. In addition, through Ross' International Exchange Program, I received an offer from Copenhagen Business School in Denmark to study there for an entire semester. Executive Skills Workshops are another resource offering career enhancing programs such as Executive Speed Reading and Business Etiquette to every MBA student.  At Ross, students are exposed to awesome resources."

"There are no more borders in today's business world. Most companies compete with players from all over the world even in their domestic market. Therefore, it is essential for a manager to have business expertise as well as international business know-how. Ross' Global MBA Program provides participants with those requirements. Participants experience how amazing and delightful it is to learn from the most distinguished faculty in the world while attending courses with professionals from around the world."

"Ross' Global MBA is a rewarding, fast-paced program offering everything I was looking for in an MBA. Participants immediately build a close network with prominent professors and with professionals from various industries while interacting in various cultural environments (i.e., Japanese, Chinese, Korean and American) and learning essential business tools. If I had to pick one word to describe my time in the program and the friends I have made, the word would be priceless."

"Since my background was not in business, but rather communication, I found the courses highly demanding. But the professors involved with this program are excellent. They brought personal experience and concrete examples to the classroom. They made the information accessible and immediately applicable to the real world. I was impressed with how accessible the faculty were. They really worked to build relationships with the students. One of the biggest benefits for me was the development of my analytical thinking skills. Any instructor can teach facts and figures, but through working with the professors, I learned a new way of thinking through issues and logically analyzing situations."

"The first three months were the most precious period of the Global MBA. Since we stayed with other colleagues at the same accommodation for the first three months, I made a lot of good friends. I felt an important feeling of belonging to a team. I think about the advantage of not only knowing top executives from Asia, but knowing they are my friends. As I remember, I thought deeply about issues from many different perspectives. My colleagues, and my professors, provided new and varying points of view and expected my thoughtful opinion in return. Through the Global MBA, I strengthened my ability to think, as well as my ability to do."
