For someone without a business degree, getting an MBA is very much like going to a trade school in a postive sense. Personally, I was able to utilize every single course from U of M during business within the first five-years. That was not the case with my engineering undergraduate degree.

I can't say enough good things about my experience at U of M Business School. It's like anything, you get out of it what you put into it. What I valued was the actual education, rather than the post-education networking, although that is available to those who value that aspect of the experience.

To a large degree, my particular experience was influenced by two professors: Hosmer and Prahalad, both of whom had recently joined the faculty. They were teaching in fields of interest to me, small business and strategy and had practical, ethical perspectives which appealed to me.

If you are actively participating you will gain much more from this school, than if you sit back and simply absorb what is going on around you.
