MIT Sloan Fellows MBA Program

One year. A lifetime of impact.

Let's start with the end result. After an intense year immersed in personal and professional growth, you will leave campus with not just your MBA or Master of Science degree, but with critical assets for your future: a personal network that spans industries and oceans, enhanced skills and capabilities, and the confidence to lead and make a difference on a global scale.

The one-year MIT Sloan Fellows MBA program attracts high-potential, mid-career leaders enthusiastic to discover new possibilities for innovation—and action. Think of the MIT Sloan Fellows program as your change-the-world toolkit. For the past 85 years, some of the most visionary leaders worldwide have done just that.

Degree Options

In the MIT Sloan Fellows MBA program, you have the choice to earn an MBA, a Master of Science in Management, or a Master of Science in Management of Technology. The degree you decide to pursue will determine whether you must complete a thesis.

Thesis

If you decide to pursue an MS in Management or an MS in Management of Technology, you are required to complete a thesis—individually or with a co-author. If you pursue an MBA, you are not required to develop a thesis, but you are welcome to do so. Alumni who have opted to write a thesis emphasize the significant impact that their research had in transitioning them to new roles within their organizations.

Certificates

Students at MIT Sloan have the opportunity to pursue specialized certificates in health care, sustainability, and business analytics. These options offer topical coursework and extracurricular activities with key industry leaders and faculty. Students also work in teams on Action Learning projects in related fields. Certificates are open to all MIT students, which creates an exciting classroom dynamic as students from around the Institute contribute their unique perspectives to the course. Students have the option to combine tracks with certificates for a more focused experience. 

Certificates must be earned in conjunction with an MIT Sloan degree; they are not stand-alone, non-degree programs.

A Global Community

The MIT Sloan Fellows MBA Community is dynamic and welcoming, coming together from diverse backgrounds and all corners of the world to learn, teach, and invent the future at MIT Sloan. 

This is a rare opportunity to step back for a full year to rethink and reinvigorate your career and your life. To build knowledge, confidence, and critical leadership skills. To meet and brainstorm with some of the greatest thinkers and leaders of your day. And to do all that at MIT in collaboration with 100+ talented global peers —a community of hands-on problem solvers eager to make the world a better place. 

See Yourself Here

The diversity of the MIT Sloan Fellows MBA community both shapes and drives collaboration and learning.  It’s when leaders of all backgrounds come together to solve the most complex problems and share those solutions with the world to improve today and advance tomorrow.

MIT Sloan Fellows MBAs are experienced leaders and mid-career professionals with a minimum of 10 years of work experience. They come from 30+ countries seeking an MBA or MS in Management or Management of Technology.

An Extraordinary Cohort

We take great care to make sure that each member of the MIT Sloan Fellows MBA class will bring something exceptional to the program experience. In fact, we consider the quality of the participants and the class dynamic so critical, we spend every fall traversing the globe to meet prospective applicants. Our overarching goal is to bring together a cohort of Fellows that is a microcosm of the global leadership community.
