SCHOOL COMMENTS

Additional school comments: The EMBA Program is structured to meet the needs of individuals in senior management roles, focusing on strategy and leadership skills essential for professionals at the highest levels of any organization. The Ross EMBA Program seeks to admit a class with as great a diversity of candidates as possible, across industries, functional areas, and companies. There are two admitted cohorts each year, in August and January.

The University of Michigan Ross EMBA program combined the essentials of general management training with superb coursework by world-renowned experts in marketing, strategy, finance, and accounting.



The program is structure to optimize each participant's experience, with team-based learning tailored to expose each student to new disciplines and extpertise. In addition, the Professional Development Programs went beyond management training to addreses issues of ethics, change management, social interactions, leadership styles, and innovation. The integrated combination provided a rich tapestry of knowledge, learning, expertise, and interaction.

The quality of the instructors and classmates was second to none. Learning in the classroom was augmented by the various experiences from classmates, giving a more holistic view of the subject matter.



The program progivded excellent teaching that brought both perspective for long-term thinking and performance blaanced with real-world practicial application for the short term.



I was very impressed with the way the professors made us lear. The way theoretical concepts were translated into real-life situations was unmatchable. Before starting the program, I was skeptical about the "Action Based Learning" as advertised by the school. But it was a reality. The processors were really on top of the topics covered, and they utilized all the available tools. The professors were available to talk late at night and responsed to questions and emails quickly.

s

All teachers were very up to speed in their fields and were outstanding at making the academic coursework applicable to industry. A key strength of the best faculty was that they were up-to-date with current macroeconomic events. Also, the faculty were all very approachable outside of class.

The classroom experience was excellent and extremely well-organized. The classroom case-study discussions were a great addition to the faculty lectures. The Michican EMBA program format achieved a perfect balance betwen case study Socratic teaching methods and faculty lectures.

Overall, though the program may seem expenseive, it is is well worth the money spent. I am a much better leader with a lot more business acument than before I started the program.

s

The administrative staff at the school were exceptionally professional. The students felt really well taken care of.



The career development and leadership classes were amazing.

The program format is excellent, the workload is optimal, and the faculty are superior in terms of strategy, marketing, and leadership.

Some professors could have improved in better controlling tangents in classroom discussions and encouraging more participation for the whole closs. It might be beneficial to split the class in two so there would be 30 in a room rather than 60.

s

The program has given me loads of confidence. The media session with a leading CNN aanchor was amazing. I am shocked to see that the University of Michigan has not earned the reputation it deserves.
