Michigan Ross Makes A Big Online MBA Bet

A SURPRISE OUTCOME IN DESIGNING COURSEWORK ONLINE

Schoen, meantime, explains what to expect from the program’s three required residencies, why a GMAT or GRE test score is required for admission, and how prospective students can best showcase their abilities in the application process (see video below).

The school has signed an agreement with Noodle Partners, an online program manager created by John Katzman, the former CEO and founder of 2U and The Princeton Review. Noodle will assemble a group of vendors to allow students to communicate, network, and work together on live cases and real-world business projects.

A surprise outcome of the ongoing effort to design all the courses is that Ross faculty is gaining valuable experience in leveraging the latest technology to deliver content. What’s exciting to me,” says DeRue, is that we’re learning about new technologies. We’re discovering how to use new virtual simulations and develop these robust action-based learning experiences in a virtual environment that will complement our residential programs as well.”
