Going Beyond the Numbers.
Michigan Ross takes a broad-based, socially relevant approach to finance that transcends figures and the bottom line. Our students not only become well-versed in a wide range of financial subjects, they also learn to question why and how those numbers came to be.
Our finance faculty are impactful researchers and experts in the issues of modern business — from social capital and fintech to corporate decision making and financial crises.
