• March 2022: New Digital Product Management Certificate

  Hot off the presses—in response to increasing demand from both students and employers, MIT Sloan has launched a new Digital Product Management Certificate program for graduate students.

  “The field of product management has changed dramatically,” notes Professor Vivek Farias, faculty lead of the specialized certificate program. “This is not just an engineering task. It’s an art to manage a complex, iterative process and learn from the market—while not spending too much time or money.”

  The new 39-unit certificate curriculum includes the popular Digital Product Management Lab and Digital Product Management course, as well as courses in operations and product development, product strategy, marketing and sales, data analysis, and finance.

  “We’re seeing tremendous growth in careers in product management,” says Mark Newhall, Director of Employer Relations and Recruiting in MIT Sloan’s Career Development Office. "Employers are seeking product managers with a blend of strong tactical execution and leadership skills."

  And this new certificate will enable MIT Sloan students to differentiate themselves!

• February 2022: Sloanies Helping (Future) Sloanies

  
  The MIT Sloan community has a mantra: Sloanies Helping Sloanies. The idea? When we support one another, we create a larger impact. 
  
  This month, we're spotlighting two student-led initiatives that are expanding on this concept, and helping prospective students set their sights on MIT:

  1. The MIT Sloan Black Business Students Association launched The Kickback, a podcast series that gives prospective students honest insights into the Black@Sloan experience. All four episodes are now available.
      
  2. The MIT Sloan Hispanic Business Club opened their More Than Ready Pre-MBA Scholarship to remove barriers for Latinx applicants pursuing business school. Learn more about the program and application here.

  We hope you'll join us at an upcoming admissions event to learn even more about our community.
