The Tauber Institute has openings for full-time MBA students. The application deadline has been extended to Monday, August 31th.
Students who are considered for admissions through our graduate program recruiting partners will be invited to participate in a separate interview with the Tauber admissions team. Applicants who have been accepted into a qualifying graduate program will receive their admissions decision at the email address provided in their application.
Application FormIMPORTANT: Tauber can only admit students who have been accepted into a qualifying graduate program at the University of Michigan.
The Tauber Institute’s program has been designed to be completed with the standard timeline of your degreed program. Participation with the institute will not add additional time or expenses to your program.
That said, there is an additional cost of time for all students in the way of evening coursework, team project recruitment steps, and required learning modules.
No. Although many of our students do have undergraduate degrees in engineering, some do not and still excel in our program. We are looking for students who wish to enhance their understanding of technology and operations in anticipation of a leadership role in a corporate enterprise. If accepted into the Tauber Institute, you will gain an understanding of both the business and engineering aspects of technology and operations by way of your core coursework and through engaging electives. Emphasis is placed on the idea that integration of these disciplines is vital to the success of operations in today’s global business environment.
We have anywhere from 90 – 120 students at one time, which comprise two “classes.” About half of the students have completed a team project, while the other half are preparing to complete a team project over the upcoming summer. Within each Tauber class, about half of the students are pursuing an MBA or Master’s of Supply Chain Management (MSCM) degree and the other half a graduate degree in engineering. This balanced proportion is a reflection of our program’s multidisciplinary nature.
The Tauber Institute utilizes scholarships to recruit top individuals into the program. Scholarship offers are formulated during the admissions process based on past academic performance, leadership, and accomplishments. Additional awards may be available in Year 2 – current students may reach out to the Student Administration Team for more information.
No, the Tauber Institute does not offer any teaching or research assistantships. Many engineering and business departments and/or professors do, however, so please check with them.
In short, no. The Tauber Institute is not considered a STEM program at Ross.
However, MBA students may simultaneously complete the STEM-designated “Specialization in Management Science” path at Ross. Many TO classes can be double-counted between the Tauber subplan and the STEM specialization. We recommend reaching out to Ross Academic Advising for additional information.
