What would I study for a Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) at the Ross School of Business? How can I apply?
Learn business by doing business — right away. We believe the best way to learn is by doing. No other BBA program equals our opportunities to start, advise, invest in, and lead real-world businesses. We call this Ross Experiences in Action-Based Learning — REAL. For more information, we encourage you to explore the Ross BBA Program website and to reach out to RossUndergrad@Umich.edu with any questions.
The main pathway into Michigan Ross is as a first-year applicant. About 80 percent of the BBA class is admitted as high school seniors. A select number of students are admitted as transfer applicants from other universities, as well as from U-M.
First-year applicants should complete the Common Application, select their “U-M First-year Admitting Unit” or “Preferred Admission” for the Stephen M. Ross School of Business, and submit the Ross BBA Admissions Portfolio via SlideRoom.
- If you wish to enter Michigan Ross in your first year at U-M, you must select “Stephen M. Ross School of Business” within the “U-M College or School to which you are applying” section of the Common Application.
- Preferred Admission will be available through select schools and colleges as a way for you to indicate an interest in enrolling in the BBA program in your sophomore year. Select this option if your interest in both Business and Art & Design, Engineering, Music, Theatre & Dance, or Kinesiology (Sport Management) is equally strong and you think you would like to ensure you have the opportunity to pursue a dual degree to earn a BBA.
