Open Enrollment Programs

MIT Sloan's open enrollment programs prepare managers to work effectively in multinational and multicultural environments. The programs, which attract participants from around the world, deliver an intensive learning experience in a relatively short time. Courses are usually between two to five days long and are designed for executives who need to come up to speed quickly on key organizational or career challenges.

The roster of executive program titles is always changing with new programs added and dates changing. Check the schedule frequently to learn about updates.

Here are some examples of open enrollment programs with a global focus.
