EMBA Faculty

The Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan is one of the world's leading institutions for research and teaching in management.  The knowledge our faculty create is frequently cited by researchers worldwide.  It is both informed by and has significant impact on business practice.  Knowledge creation is an essential part of Michigan's mission and a vitally important source of the excellence of the School's educational programs.

Faculty teaching in the Executive MBA Program all have significant experience in both our full- and part-time MBA programs, as well as Michigan's Executive Education program.  In classroom sessions and in projects, you will encounter respected researchers, vigorous scholars, successful consultants, and gifted, dedicated teachers.  These are people who enjoy teaching and do it extremely well, people who make themselves accessible for after-class consultations and devote long hours as advisors and as guides to student teams.

Michigan faculty have a free hand in employing whatever teaching methods they consider most appropriate to a given subject.  During your two years of study at Michigan you will attend lectures, be involved in case studies and computer simulations, work on company projects, and participate in multi-media presentations and events.  The goal is always the same: to convey knowledge in the most effective manner possible.

The faculty are outstanding.  Most remarkable is their commitment to the students and the learning process.  They make themselves available not only during the residencies, but also by establishing open communication through emails and phone calls.  Many of the faculty also worked collaboratively on projects with my fellow classmates.  For example, one of my classmates worked with my marketing professor, Tom Kinnear, on a marketing plan for his business.  I think they make themselves available to consult in a collaborative manner, as well as help the individuals in the program make sure that they fully grasp the material.
