Requirements
Every MIT Sloan Fellows class is a microcosm of the global business community, representing a sweeping diversity of nations and perspectives. But the class is also an elite, high-performing peer group. Individual participants share several key characteristics, and this common base makes it possible for them to collaborate at a high level.

The selection committee will consider those applicants who:

  • Demonstrate high potential and the aspiration to become leaders, either of established organizations or new ventures.
  • Hold an undergraduate degree and at least ten years of relevant experience.
  • Excel in some combination of leadership performance, global perspective, functional expertise, and innovation.
  • Possess the intellectual capability and interest to handle the rigorous MIT Sloan curriculum.
  • Communicate effectively in English, orally and in writing. The TOEFL is required for any applicant whose native language is not English (see application checklist for more information).
  • Applicants with certain academic profiles are encouraged to submit scores from the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT); see application checklist for more information.
