The Tauber Institute Program
If you're interested in an operations or manufacturing-related career, the Tauber Institute provides you with all the tools you need to succeed:

Sherri Gwizdala - MBA '09 "The Tauber Institute has allowed me to differentiate myself in my pursuit of a career in general management and has given me the opportunity to take on |
| challenging leadership experiences through my internship and my role on the Student Advisory Board." | |
Several business and engineering degree programs participate in
the Tauber Institute, ranging from the graduate to the doctoral level.
These programs, in conjunction with Tauber, meet the diverse demands of industry and our students. Although the Tauber Institute, itself, does not confer degrees, the Institute offers a career-building operations component that complements selected degrees from the University of Michigan's Ross School of Business and College of Engineering. Successful completion of all Tauber requirements is recognized on student transcripts.
The Tauber Institute's degree program "overlay" approach offers several advantages for both students and companies associated
with Tauber. As a degree add-on program, Tauber is able to address career preparation issues from both a curricular and hands-on perspective, developing and implementing solutions in both channels. This structure allows Tauber to be quicker and more responsive to the ever-changing needs of industry than non-overlay based programs. In addition, the Tauber Institute's LeadershipAdvantageSM Program and team project experience prepare students to hit the ground running upon graduation.
- Tauber Institute participation does not normally lengthen degree completion times, nor does it involve additional expense.
- Generous scholarship opportunities are available.
- Team-based summer internships are high-level, guaranteed, and paid.
- Students must first be admitted to the University of Michigan's Ross School of Business or College of Engineering before they are considered for admission to the Tauber Institute.

The elements of the Tauber program are built around solid fundamentals: a strong analytical framework in both business and engineering, leadership skills that maximize the talents of both yourself and others, and plenty of opportunities to test and evaluate your abilities. World-class companies need progressive thinkers, and our programs help you think specifically, efficiently, and creatively about the best way to get things done. These skills are not only essential to successful operations, but also important to all fields of industry and aspects of personal, professional, and intellectual growth.
