Student Stories

Kiva McGhee, BBA ‘18
“The Ross Global Immersion Course in China and Hong Kong was such an incredible experience. Learning how to conduct business on a global scale has always been important to me, but this class gave me the resources and tools to actually see firsthand how business in China works. We got to visit incredible companies like Alibaba and Tencent, and I know that an experience like this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I am even more motivated now to study abroad for a semester and want to have as many intercultural experiences as possible. This trip really inspired me to want to take my career abroad. I can't wait to go back!”

The corporate exposure during the course will open your eyes and prepare you for your future career, especially because you will have so many valuable experiences that you can talk about to recruiters, co-workers, family, and friends."
