Our review
Ilitch’s new downtown building placed the school inside Detroit’s rebuilding core, and its evening MBA serves the industry that never left: the automakers’ finance and product organizations, their supplier web, and the health systems that grew as the city diversified. Resident pricing near $32,000 fits the mission.
