Turn Military Service into Business Impact

Military and Veterans at Michigan Ross

Your military service proves your strength as a leader and your ability to think strategically. Michigan Ross values that experience and is committed to supporting your transition to business leadership, backed by a community that understands your journey.

Brian Gorski
Ross has a very strong veteran community in that everyone supports each other. It’s great to bond with fellow veterans who are going through the same life situations — transitioning out of the military and into the business world. Having people who understand where you’re coming from is so important.
-Brian Gorski, MBA ‘25
Applying to U-M

The University of Michigan offers in-state tuition status to those who serve. You must apply and provide the appropriate supporting documentation. Information is located on the University of Michigan Office of the Registrar's website in the residency section.
