MPREP scholars

Learning community

The Multicultural Professional Readiness Education Program (MPREP) is a Mike Ilitch School of Business learning community that focuses on encouraging, supporting and retaining multicultural undergraduate business students.

As an MPREP Scholar, you belong to a close-knit, welcoming community focused on professional development, academic success, and celebrating your authentic identity and experiences. We're with you from your first day on campus to that triumphant moment when you walk across the stage at commencement.

Note: Applications for the 2024-2025 academic year are now closed. Applications for the 2025-2026 academic year will open in the summer of 2025 and all Ilitch School students are welcome to apply.
