Summer Business Experiences

Traditional internships aren't the only way to gain valuable professional experience. Michigan Ross Summer Business Experiences give BBA students the opportunity to work on real projects at  organizations across many areas of business over the course of the summer.

Work in teams to advise a startup, small business, or corporation in search of creative solutions to a pressing business challenge through the Michigan Ross Business Consulting Corps. Sponsor companies span a wide range of industries  — including technology, healthcare, and manufacturing — and student teams receive mentorship from Ross faculty and alumni. This opportunity is available to rising BBA seniors.

Faculty member teaching

Work with Faculty

Through research assistantships, students can find opportunities to work directly with a faculty member whose research aligns with their career interests. Our Career Development Office works with faculty to post summer opportunities throughout the year.

Ross BBAs may also participate in the University of Michigan Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program (UROP), which creates research partnerships between students and U-M faculty.
