Welcome to the College of Business at the University of Michigan-Dearborn.
Offering a bachelor’s in business administration with nine possible concentrations and seven master’s degree programs, we provide students with a diverse array of opportunities to pursue their journey to be the leaders and best. And after developing one of the first online MBA programs in the country, we continue to offer traditional students as well as working adults the flexibility to complete their undergraduate or graduate degree at their own pace.
U.S. News & World Report and The Princeton Review consistently rank our graduate and undergraduate programs among the best in the state of Michigan, and we are regularly recognized for the strength of our faculty and degree programs nationally. However, the education provided by our outstanding faculty means so much more than just a ranking. It’s a team taught course that shows undergraduates how to become entrepreneurs and boost the local economy in urban areas. It’s an internship program that helps students gain experience and develop their careers. It’s innovative programs in the growing fields of information systems, business analytics, and supply chain management to ensure our students always have educational opportunities that are directly correlated to the changing marketplace. It’s the opportunity to participate in iLabs, a research institute dedicated to advancing the understanding of corporate, entrepreneurial, and institutional innovation and its impact on economic development.
Whether you are a potential student, an industry partner, or a loyal supporter, we welcome your partnership to make the College of Business part of the Leaders and Best.
