Commerce Park Facilities

Location of Classes and Class Times 

The Stephen M. Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan offers evening classes in two locations - at the main campus in Ann Arbor and at the Commerce Park satellite in Dearborn. Commerce Park houses six classrooms, a study area, and a small computer lab linked to the main Ann Arbor campus. Staff members are available to answer any questions. Classes are offered year-round: Fall/Winter full-terms and Spring/Summer half-terms. Core classes are offered each fall and winter at both locations, allowing students to take all of their required classes at the location that is most convenient. Most classes are offered once a week, Monday through Thursday 6-9pm or 7-10pm. One of the ongoing innovations of the program is the addition of courses taught either as a series of intensive weekend classes or classes that meet one weekday and one weekend day. Several courses each term are offered in this format. Many evening students prefer to take these intensive weekend classes, depending on their work schedule. 

Computing Facilities and Library Resources

Ross Business School operates an extensive computer lab on the main campus in Ann Arbor and a smaller computer lab at Commerce Park. The labs are identical in terms of the software, network connections, and Internet connections. Students can check iMpact (the School's internal messaging tool and database for employer information), catch up on the latest news and information on the Evening MBA web site, and use the many on-line databases supported by the Business School's Kresge Library. 

Commerce Park Hours 

Hours of operation may vary based upon class schedules and University-recognized holidays. 
There is a reading room at Commerce Park with current periodicals and a small holding of reference books. While many on-line database searches can be conducted from Commerce Park, most students find that they travel to the Kresge Business School library in Ann Arbor on a regular basis to take advantage of the complete array of on-line services and the extensive book and periodical collections. The reference librarians in Ann Arbor have evening hours for part-time students and can be visited in person at the Ann Arbor campus or contacted by phone or E-mail.
