MS in Lean Manufacturing/MBA Program

The Dual MSLM/MBA Degree Program from University of Michigan-Flint and Kettering University is designed to provide you with the broad foundation of business knowledge and the in-depth and specialized expertise of lean production systems. In addition to earning two master’s degrees from two respected universities, you will take fewer courses than if you had completed both programs separately. In addition, most course sessions can be completed through distance learning methods – so you can enjoy anywhere, anytime convenience.

The MSLM and MBA programs are offered jointly and must be completed in sequence (one degree follows the other) with application being made to each program. Students intending to get the dual MSLM/MBA should complete the following course work:
