Cultivating Thought Leadership

DEGREE PROGRAMS ASSOCIATED WITH TAUBER

Tauber Institute students are admitted through either the College of Engineering or the Stephen M. Ross School of Business. They bring with them significant experience in fields such as product engineering, manufacturing, and consulting. Most Tauber students also have undergraduate training in engineering or other technical fields. They have made a substantial commitment to careers in operations or manufacturing and pursue an education specifically designed to meet the needs of today’s firms.

All Tauber students are enrolled in one of the following degree programs:

ROSS SCHOOL OF BUSINESS

Master of Business Administration (MBA) This two-year program prepares students to accept general management leadership positions. The Tauber program includes a sequence of operations management, supply chain, and manufacturing-related engineering courses.

COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING

Engineering Global Leadership Honors Program (EGL) This five-year honors program prepares students to enter a variety of firms as engineers, while giving them the necessary management skills to quickly assume business leadership roles. A highly valued element of this program is a cultural concentration in a global region of choice. The EGL program leads to both a BSE and MSE.

Engineering Graduate Programs (EGP) A graduate-level engineering degree program in any engineering discipline that, coupled with the Tauber requirements, provides intensive course work in operations and manufacturing technologies paired with business electives courses. EGP students are pursuing MEng, MSE, PhD, or Doctor of Engineering degrees.

THE TAUBER ADVANTAGE

Team projects are just one way that Tauber students distinguish themselves from other business and engineering graduates. Tauber programs and courses also enhance their employability:

• The LeadershipAdvantageSM program of learning modules and workshops emphasizes leading and influencing an organization through collaboration, creativity, communication, and analytics.

• Facility assessments deliver insight into operations and lean manufacturing. Students learn to perform a rapid audit of the state of an operation, judge the relative leanness of the operation, prioritize targets of opportunity for improvements, and develop an action plan to facilitate those improvements.

• The Global Operations Conference brings leaders in industry and academia together to strategize new ways to advance the practice of operations worldwide.

• The Leadership Forum allows Tauber students to learn about ethical leadership directly from current leaders in operations from top global firms.

• The Tauber Leadership Speaker Series invites high-level executives to share insights with students about their careers, the qualities needed in today’s global economy for strong leadership, and tangible steps students can take to achieve excellence in their own career paths. • Tauber students are encouraged to give back. Each year, on Community Service Day, they apply what they’ve learned to address operations challenges at southeast Michigan nonprofits.

Many Tauber students assume leadership roles in organizing the Global Operations Conference, Leadership Forum, and Tauber Leadership Speaker Series, gaining valuable experience in the complexities of event planning, and developing rapport with the seasoned executives they bring to campus. Student groups plan Tauber’s Community Service Day and organize networking events, and Student Advisory Board members work closely with Tauber leadership to strive for continuous improvement in our own operations.
