| Paid Summer Project
A distinctive feature of the Ross Master of
Supply Chain Management program is the integration of the paid summer project into your curriculum. All Master
of Supply Chain Management students are admitted to the Tauber Institute for Global Operations, an innovative University of Michigan Institute that draws upon the resources of both the Ross School and the University's College of Engineering. Each Master
of Supply Chain Management student will be part of a team executing a paid summer project with faculty supervision. In the Winter, you will prepare for an assignment developed in concert by faculty, a corporate sponsor, and the Tauber Institute so that you and your peers can hit the ground running, arriving at your internship site as a cohesive team skilled in communications and project management. During the summer, your team will work on site to address a real-world business challenge identified by your sponsor.
Example of past project sponsors include:
3M, Advanced Micro Devices, Alcoa, The Boeing Company, Dell Computer Corporation, Eastman Kodak, Eli Lilly & Company, General Electric, General Motors Corporation, Harley Davidson, Hewlett-Packard, Intel Corporation, McKinsey & Company, Merck Incorporated, Whirlpool Corporation and Xerox Corporation. For a full list please visit the
Tauber Institute.
