Your laboratory is the world of enterprise.

Did you ever consider that the most productive year of your career might be the year you spend out of the office? The fact is, it could take a decade in the professional world to build the same level of knowledge and skill you gain in the MIT Sloan Fellows Program. Few professional opportunities can offer this level of strategic leadership experience in the international marketplace.

The MIT Sloan Fellows Program offers an intense, unparalleled degree of real-world experience:

  • Collaborate on global projects in connection with coursework or research.
  • Discover breakthrough innovations in your industry and how they are working around the world.
  • Get the very latest thinking on new methods for evaluating problems and opportunities.
  • Talk frankly with some of the world’s top CEOs about their pivotal mistakes and hard-won triumphs.
  • Find out from faculty and industry experts how to nurture a productive culture of innovation in small enterprises and mega-corporations.
  • Learn from peers and from your visits to key enterprise hubs about doing business in cultures and markets around the world.
  • Build a global network you can turn to again and again for the course of your career.

See for yourself.

Your learning environment occasionally will move beyond the MIT campus and into the villages and cities, commerce centers and boardrooms of the international marketplace. You will travel to New York City and Northern California to meet with some of the world’s most respected industry, government, and high-tech leaders. You will also have the opportunity to travel to strategic global business regions in Europe, Asia, and South America.

As part of Global E-Lab, for example, you might help a South American startup gain a foothold in foreign markets in the face of currency devaluation. In the Medical Innovations class, you might work with MIT Sloan management experts, MIT engineers, and researchers from a world-class hospital to develop a solution for a crucial world health problem. The emphasis in all experiences is on building practical, enduring, actionable knowledge.

Join, collaborate, get involved.

You can also pursue extracurricular activities related to your professional interests or explore new realms. Maybe you’d like to learn more about nanotechnology, for example, or join a team that’s vying to win the MIT $100K Entrepreneurship Competition with a breakthrough product.

You might also want to join one of the interest- or industry-centered networking groups that fellows organize with like-minded peers. For instance, an increasing number of fellows are interested in issues of sustainability and social impact.

Here are just a few of the organizations and opportunities that attract MIT Sloan Fellows:
