yes, i'm definitely doing the dual degree if i end up at ross. the program looks awesome.
trying to figure out cost as well. for the grad students, there's a big difference b/w in-state and out-of-state, but it seems that establishing residency might be tough by u of m rules - https://www.umich.edu/~regoff/resreg.html. looks like an extra year at snre will run ~$33k or $50k with fees (vs $65 for ross).
benefits of erb are you get 2 internships, which might be helpful in riding out the market, and erb is recognized as a strong program, so recruiters may target erb students. you also get the added network of erb alums. plus with obama's focus on energy and the green economy, sustainability will keep growing in importance and hopefully in jobs.
cons are an added year of debt and currently, a low priority in green initiatives with all the other stuff companies are worrying about right now. even with the strength of the erb program, i'm guessing students will still have to invest time in their own job hunt.
i will add though that at the annual net impact conference in nov @ wharton, the vp of sustainability at walmart gave a keynote address and called out an erb student by name who interned there over the summer. he talked about the great work she did and how they still had her on retainer. i thought that was pretty neat. ross' net impact club has also won chapter of the year 2 years in a row, so that's also very impressive.

The Net Impact program is something that I really like about Ross. Seems like a strong and tight group they have, I read the 2006 Net Impact report and Ross or Yale were like pretty much the top programs in every catagory.
As for the in-state tuition, Michigan is one of the hardest states to get in-state for tuition. Cali and Virginia are way easier. I don't think i'll qualify for Michigan.
