Patrick Welsh, MBA '14

"I looked at schools all over the country," says Patrick Welsh, MBA '14, who completed the Ross Executive MBA program on the Los Angeles campus.

"I chose Michigan because I felt it was the only program on the West Coast with both a holistic management curriculum and a truly national and global reputation," Patrick says.

As a banking and capital markets consultant with PricewaterhouseCoopers, Patrick assists clients across the country in navigating an unprecedented business environment. His career is dynamic, so he needs a dynamic degree.

"I've worked from the east coast to the west coast, and internationally. I know that no matter where I am, the Ross degree will have relevance," he says.

The Ross culture was also a big factor for Patrick.

"It's a real, down-to-earth, friendly environment. There's no attitude. I immediately felt at home."
