Welcome to the newest edition of Trivia Tuesday, the weekly column in which we highlight the elements that make each MBA program different from the next. Today we’re diving into the Clear Admit School Guide to the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business to learn about the school’s international exchange program:
“Ross MBA students have the option of spending a semester abroad at one of 11 international business schools in Europe, Asia, Australia or South America. While abroad, students take a full load of courses at the host institution; these courses are recorded on a Pass/Fail basis on the Ross transcript and are worth 15 credit hours towards the Ross MBA degree.
“As at most business schools, Ross students participating in an international exchange pay their normal tuition to Ross. Study abroad participants are responsible for all housing and travel costs incurred during the semester, though some additional financial aid may be available if the cost of living in the host city is significantly higher than in Ann Arbor. Applications to study abroad are due by July of the first year, leaving students plenty of time to plan for their semester away.
“For students who would like to incorporate an international experience into their MBA studies but who do not want to spend a full semester abroad, the WHU Summer Program offers an alternative. This program is a three-credit-hour elective course, open to all first-year students, that meets for two weeks in early and late May of each year. Titled ‘The Changing Environment for International Business Abroad,’ its main topics of discussion include European integration, doing business in Eastern Europe, restructuring companies in transitional economies, and navigating global labor and financial markets. The program takes place on the campus of the WHU–Otto Beisheim School of Management in Germany’s Rhine River valley. Although tuition is free, students must cover their own travel and lodging expenses along with the school’s registration and activity fee.”
