The Tennenbaum Institute’s educational program takes several forms. All of our traditional graduate students are enrolled in degree-granting Colleges and Schools at Georgia Tech. Much of their coursework occurs in those units, often taught by TI faculty and staff. Thus, while their research is pursued in TI, their degrees come from the units in which they matriculate.

We are in the process of developing a Professional Master’s Degree in Enterprise Systems. This interdisciplinary field addresses the enterprise as a system and considers the individual, organizational, social and technological phenomena associated with designing, managing, and transforming enterprises. We expect to enroll the first cohort for this program in Fall 2010.

This degree program is intended for fast-rising managers in large enterprises who are being groomed to take on key responsibilities in the transformation of these enterprises in reaction to and in anticipation of major market and technology opportunities, as well as competitive threats and crises. The targeted population includes those with backgrounds in engineering, science, economics or other technical fields who have gained or are soon to gain management responsibilities. We expect that students will have 10-15 years of relevant job experience. The professional master’s degree requires earning 30 credit hours by successfully completing a set of ten courses carefully designed to achieve these educational objectives.
