*If you’re planning on applying to our SFMBA program, please note that we’re transitioning to two rounds instead of three this year.Our application will be opening in the month of July and if you’re planning to apply this year, here are some tips that will help you build a strong application starting this summer.
1. Connect with members of the MIT Sloan community—students, alumni, and staff—to gain an inside view of the program experience. One easy way to connect this summer is to attend one of our IN-PERSON events taking place in cities across the U.S., Canada, Asia, and Europe. We’re constantly adding new events, so make sure you check back to register for events near you. You can also join us in small-group virtual sessions or take part in one of our on-campus events.
2. Start thinking of what makes you stand out and why MIT Sloan is a good fit for you. We want to know what makes you, YOU! Making a list of your strengths and past accomplishments is a good way to help you get started. Your recommender will also provide important insight about you—think carefully about who can best speak about your attributes and accomplishments and give them enough time to put together a strong and thoughtful letter of recommendation.
Sincerely,
MIT Sloan Admissions -

When speaking to students, we often hear that there are many incredible opportunities at MIT Sloan but not enough time to embark on them all! While at MIT Sloan, our students are able to construct a personalized plan that connects them to a unique community focused on common interests—both at MIT Sloan and across MIT—all aimed at maximizing their opportunities for future impact in the world.
Two of the ways graduate students can differentiate their time at MIT Sloan are through MIT Certificates and Dual and Joint Degrees.
MIT Certificates
Open to all MIT graduate students, these certificate programs include:- The Sustainability Certificate: It equips students with an opportunity to engage in a dialogue around organizational challenges and choices, and to develop a mindset to implement sustainability strategies that lead to impact in our communities and environments.
- The Healthcare Certificate: It provides the foundational knowledge and hands-on industry experience students need to pursue health industry careers.
- The Business Analytics Certificate: It prepares students in analytics and data science to develop the ability to ask the right questions, parse large quantities of structured and unstructured data, translate analytic insights into actions, and influence key business decisions.
- The Digital Product Management Certificate: As our newest certificate, its curriculum is built on MIT’s unique culture of collaboration, technology-driven innovation, and hands-on experiences. It is designed to prepare students to meet the growing demand for qualified product managers.
Dual and Joint Degrees
The purpose of dual degrees is to train our students for complex leadership challenges that combine industry expertise with critical management skills. These include:- MIT Leaders for Global Operations (LGO)
- MIT Sloan and MIT Department of Urban Studies and Planning
- MIT Sloan and Harvard Kennedy School of Government
We hope you’ll join us at an upcoming admissions event to learn even more about our diverse offerings.

The MIT Sloan community has a mantra: Sloanies Helping Sloanies. The idea? When we support one another, we create a larger impact.
With students, faculty, and staff from around the world, MIT Sloan prides itself on welcoming people with a wide range of backgrounds, experiences, and interests. The community is marked by its passion for solving problems and tackling big challenges, its respect for varied viewpoints, and its entrepreneurial spirit.One of the ways we help you build strong and diverse personal and professional networks is through our community events. Some of these include:
- The Ask Me Anything (AMA) event series: It provides firsthand personal perspectives on elements of personal identity. Past events have addressed national identity; religious, racial, sexual, and ethnic identities; veterans' experiences; and themes such as mental illness.
- ClubFest: MIT Sloan’s 80+ student clubs offer students the opportunity for involvement and leadership in a wide range of professional, social, recreational, and cultural activities. Every September, the Student Life Office organizes ClubFest to introduce incoming students to the many clubs that MIT Sloan has to offer.
- The Yarn: The Yarn is an event in which Sloanies share unforgettable personal stories with one another about the things that matter most in their lives. It’s about going deeper as a community and celebrating the diversity of values, perspectives, and experiences that we share at MIT Sloan.
We hope you’ll join us at an upcoming admissions event to learn even more about our vibrant community.

January at MIT is a little bit different. Independent Activities Period—or IAP—is a special four-week term where students are free to set their own educational agendas, explore independent projects, meet with faculty, or generally take part in activities not available during the semester.
IAP has been around for five decades, providing the MIT community with a unique opportunity to organize, sponsor, and participate in a variety of activities. From Battlecode to Leading the Energy Transition to Advanced Bacterial Photography to a Stand-Up Comedy Crash Course, this year’s selection is no exception.
