What Is MBA Early at MIT Sloan?
MBA Early at the MIT Sloan School of Management is a deferred admission option that allows eligible students to secure a place in a future full-time MBA class before beginning their careers. After admission, candidates pursue two to five years of full-time work experience before enrolling, giving them time to develop professional skills and perspectives they can bring to the MBA classroom
