How MAP Works

Partner with a sponsor — a large corporation, a startup, or a nonprofit — on an immersive, seven-week project to find a creative solution to a crucial organizational challenge. Each project requires you to collaborate with a team of peers and a faculty advisor. At the conclusion of the project, deliver your analysis and recommendations to the sponsor and Ross faculty in a formal presentation and written report.

“MAP was truly inspirational. I was surprised by how much I learned from my teammates. Every team member has a different role and brings their diverse experiences to the project so that while we are working together, we're also learning from each other.”
