The Ross BBA

The Ross BBA delivers a fast-paced, action-based, and team-oriented approach to leadership development.  Students learn to deliver real results as they collaborate on multi-faceted projects that connect coursework to actual business practice.

Our students learn to think and act as well-rounded, global citizens -- first through a liberal arts foundation that covers mathematics, natural science, social science, and the humanities, and then through a rigorous Core grounded in the functional areas of business, from finance to marketing.
