From the MIT Executive MBA Program Leadership

Welcome from the Assistant Dean

Dear prospective students,

MIT Executive MBA students know how to redefine potential. Ask yourself: when you started your career, did you have any idea where you’d be today at this moment? Better yet, do you know how much further you could go? 

The MIT Executive MBA is a transformational journey for mid-career leaders who want to move from success to significance. Our students choose the MIT EMBA because we teach the science of management, tapping into MIT’s world-class research that helps innovate and approach problems differently. We do this by intentionally designing and guiding experiences within which global leaders forge themselves—and each other—into the catalysts for evolution our future demands.

We take this responsibility seriously. True to MIT’s motto mens et manus, mind and hand, our unique focus on Action Learning helps students have an instant impact in their organizations. Through real-world projects, our cohorts take new frameworks and analytical tools from sessions on Fridays and Saturdays and immediately apply them to their organizations come Monday. This level of academic rigor enhances your learning, instantly adding value to your organization.

Here, the crux of everything we do ties back to the MIT Sloan mission: to create principled, innovative leaders who will improve the world. And everything you’ll do here will benefit from being immersed in an inspirational cohort. You’ll learn as much from each other as from our world-class faculty. You’ll also join a collaborative and supportive community, where you’ll work alongside other leaders who are shaping best practices across technology, business, science, and more.

Our program helps students grow in their careers, elevates them into new roles, or opens doors of possibilities to embark on their own ideas. You’ll develop the confidence to take the right risks at the right time, as well as the advanced management capabilities to realize strategic priorities.

If you’re ready to redefine potential, ambition, purpose, and yourself, I encourage you to apply to the MIT Executive MBA.

Sincerely,

Johanna Hising DiFabio
Assistant Dean, MIT Executive Degree Programs
