The Sloan School of Management at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Sloan) offers these departments and concentrations: accounting, economics, entrepreneurship, finance, general management, health care administration, human resources management, industrial management, international business, leadership, manufacturing and technology management, marketing, management information systems, production/operations management, organizational behavior, supply chain management/logistics, quantitative analysis/statistics and operations research, tax, and technology. Its tuition is full-time: $77,168 per year. At graduation, 79.30 percent of graduates of the full-time program are employed.
Though graduate students at the Sloan School of Management study at the campus facilities in Cambridge, Mass., their business education has a broader slant. The academic courses are inherently global in nature, and there are dozens of opportunities for students to travel and study abroad. The school also has Action Labs for students to tackle real problems in existing companies in the United States, China and India.
Even graduate student organizations at MIT have a global focus, with business clubs for nations around the world. There are also sports clubs for everything from skiing and snowboarding to golfing, and student athletes can join MBA intramural teams to compete with other MBA students throughout the Northeast and across the nation. Students can also compete in yearlong contests in the MIT $100K Entrepreneurship Competition, with cash prizes for winning business plans. Students, faculty and staff meet weekly for Consumption Functions, better known as “C-Functions,” which often celebrate international cultures with food, music and dancing.
The business school campus is near a stop on the “T” subway system, and downtown Boston is about a 20-minute walk away. Students may live in university housing, though space is limited.
Close to a quarter of Sloan graduates have gone on to become company presidents and CEOs, and some of the most notable alumni include Carly Fiorina, former president and CEO of Hewlett-Packard Co.; John Reed, former chairman of Citicorp; and Benjamin Netanyahu, prime minister of Israel.
We look for students whose personal characteristics suggest that they will make the most of the opportunities at MIT, both in academic & non-academic areas. We also seek those whose presence will enhance the experience of other students. We value characteristics such as motivation, involvement, interpersonal skills, communication skills, leadership, analytical skills, & tolerance of uncertainty.
The Sloan Fellows Program looks for highly motivated, high-performing individuals who arent satisfied with the status quo and have demonstrated their ability to effect change. The EMBA Program considers applicants who are leaders in established organizations or new ventures. They seek candidates who combine strong leadership performance, global perspective, functional expertise, and innovation.
Entrepreneurship, finance, international business, manufacturing and technology management, production/operations management
Full-time traditional two year, traditional executive MBA, other executive MBA
We start with a distinctive model of management education. Through rigorous coursework with world-class faculty, provocative experiential learning, exposure to real-time faculty research, and hands-on teamwork and leadership experiences, students leave MIT Sloan ready to lead, eager to forge innovative answers to important problems in the real world.
The Sloan Fellows Program in Innovation and Global Leadership prepares outstanding executives with the critical skills to create and lead successful, innovative organizations in the 21st century. The EMBA is a rigorous 20-month, executive schedule MBA for high-potential executives committed to integrating their work and education. See http://mitsloan.mit.edu/executivemba/ for more information.
The application fee is $75 for U.S. residents and $75 for international students. Its tuition is full-time: $53,450 per year. The 2020 Ph.D. student-faculty ratio is 5.6:1. The School of Engineering at Massachusetts Institute of Technology has 387 full-time faculty on staff.
The School of Engineering is a popular destination for MIT students and faculty. About 45 percent of all graduate students at MIT, roughly 2,800 students, are enrolled in the School of Engineering, and about a third of all faculty members teach at the School. Graduate students have 15 areas in which to earn degrees, most of which are highly ranked.
There are close to 20 research centers on campus, which explore topics as varied as cancer research, ocean engineering, and soldier nanotechnologies. Students can also get involved with university initiatives like Transportation@MIT, an interdisciplinary program that examines travel issues. Students with ideas for new businesses can enter the $100K Entrepreneurship Competition for a chance to win start-up money.
For prospective students already working in an engineering field but looking to switch to another, MIT offers a part-time Career Reengineering Program. Professionals complete a semester-long course; an internship or research project; and career and professional development workshops.
Graduate students can live on the MIT campus in Cambridge, Mass., which puts them in an ideal location for getting to class and exploring downtown Boston, just across the Charles River.
