Leaders for Global Operations:

MS Engineering & MBA Dual Degree Program

Learning

The Leaders for Global Operations (LGO) is a demanding, fast-paced two-year program in which students earn two degrees: an MBA or a Master of Science from MIT Sloan School of Management and a Master of Science from MIT School of Engineering.

LGO's curriculum is designed to teach students an appreciation for continuous, incremental improvement as well as for groundbreaking innovation - and it provides the tools to accomplish both. Through class work, research, and opportunities to lead and learn by doing, LGO gives students a solid background in critical areas of manufacturing, including manufacturing processes, design and development, operations management, information technology, teamwork, leadership, change management, and systems thinking.

The LGO program provides many opportunities for students to learn about and practice leadership skills through carefully planned activities. Starting with The Universe Within and a course during the first summer, activities focus on continuous leadership discovery, reflection, interaction, and development. LGOs meet and discuss critical manufacturing challenges with people from a wide variety of perspectives, including partner company executives, other LGO alumni and plant floor workers.

Students take the lead in managing the Proseminars, plant treks, and committees such as Marketing and Admissions, Internships, Strategy & Vision, and LGO Alumni.
