- About MIT Sloan
MIT Sloan's MBA curriculum grew out of our conviction that, in education as in business, leadership belongs to those who reject the comfort of the status quo. Therefore, the MIT curriculum is one that encourages freedom of choice and experimentation. After the powerful, shared experience of the first-semester core, students are free to construct a highly personalized course of study. In addition to the analytic rigor you would expect from MIT, we offer a sharp focus on the demands of actual business problems, and an array of new opportunities to practice skills of leadership and to connect with the world of business practice.
While we offer a wide variety of courses, each one exemplifies our commitment to balancing innovative ideas and theories with real-world application.
The MIT Entrepreneurship faculty offers the E&I track for incoming MBA students who are already committed to a future entrepreneurial life. The classes and related activities focus on launching and developing new companies, especially those that are based upon the emerging technologies for which MIT is famed. E&I students immerse themselves in an intense curriculum led by a distinguished faculty of academic thought leaders and successful practitioners of entrepreneurship. Multiple required and elective courses provide depth of information and experiences, together with an opportunity to build a strong cohort of like–minded entrepreneurial classmates. E&I students receive a Certificate in Entrepreneurship and Innovation in addition to the MBA degree.

Building upon MIT’s distinguished accomplishments in technology, science, and social science, its tradition of interdisciplinary collaboration, and the ideal of “mens et manus” (blending “mind and hands”), the Certificate in Sustainability views sustainability as a function of the interdependent dynamics of economic, societal, and environmental systems, where success overall is influenced by success across all areas and not upon a single factor. The required core and elective courses in the Certificate Program explicitly leverage Sloan’s strengths in process improvement, organizational learning and adaptation, entrepreneurship and commercialization, the dynamics of organizational and social change, and the interactions of markets, firms and organizations, and links to MIT’s strengths in science and technology through implementation.

G-Lab is a landmark program that links teams of MIT Sloan MBA students with entrepreneurs in emerging nations. The students share their knowledge, experience, and research with these business owners, helping them to design market strategies, rethink practices and priorities, and devise solutions to specific challenges. Meanwhile, the students get intensive training in challenging global environments where they put to use the skills they have developed in business and global networking.

SIP provides a marked contrast to traditional classroom activities — enabling students to hear directly from faculty about cutting-edge research and to participate in intensive leadership seminars. SIP also provides a forum for students to develop general business knowledge and exposes them to a wide variety of speakers, presentations, and events.
