Leaders for Global Operations
MIT Leaders for Global Operations (LGO) is a two-year, dual-degree program for highly qualified students who want to develop engineering and management skills geared toward careers in operations and manufacturing. A collaborative venture between the MIT School of Engineering, the MIT Sloan School of Management, and a select group of industry partners, MIT LGO combines an intensive curriculum with action learning activities that expose students to the inner workings of top operations-based companies around the world. LGO graduates go on to effect transformative change in industry and society through their groundbreaking careers in operations and manufacturing.
The LGO program is designed for students with two or more years of work experience who aspire to leadership positions in the fields of manufacturing and operations. Students work simultaneously toward an MBA from MIT Sloan and an SM from one of the following departments/divisions in the MIT School of Engineering:
- Aeronautics and Astronautics
- Biological Engineering
-
Chemical Engineering
- Civil and Environmental Engineering
- Electrical Engineering and Computer Science
- Engineering Systems
- Mechanical Engineering
The LGO program takes two years to complete. Within that time, students are required to participate in a 6-month internship at an LGO partner company. The internship is an opportunity for students to conduct research upon which to base their master’s thesis. All LGO students receive generous fellowships.
