Student Stories

Past Participant
"The Global Immersion to China has been the highlight of my Ross career so far - it gave me so much insight into how culture, politics, and history are all intertwined with the business environment in such a fast- growing country. It was an absolute privilege to have exclusive access to innovative companies while also learning about Chinese traditions and customs. This trip has given me a new perspective of looking at things that I will take with me beyond my time at Ross!"
Past Participant
"Participating in the Global Immersion Course in China allowed me to gain first-hand exposure to the second largest economy in the world. 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."
