Overview
Founded in 1924 as the University of Michigan School of Business Administration, the school was renamed in 2004 following a $100 million gift from alumnus Stephen M. Ross. Ross has long been recognized as one of the premier business schools globally, particularly celebrated for its pioneering Multidisciplinary Action Projects (MAP) program, which immerses MBA students in real-world consulting engagements. The school is consistently ranked among the top business programs for its rigorous academics, strong faculty research, and emphasis on positive business leadership.
