MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY

The MIT Sloan School of Management is one of the five schools of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, located in Cambridge,Massachusetts, in the United States. It is one of the world’s leading business schools, conducting research and teaching in finance,entrepreneurship, marketing, strategic management, economics, organizational behavior, industrial relations, operations management, supply chain management, information technology, and many other fields.

MIT Sloan offers bachelor’s degrees, master’s degree and doctorates, as well as non-degree executive education programs. Its largest program is the Master of Business Administration (MBA) program, which matriculates students every year from more than 60 countries and offers the widest range of electives of any business school in the United States.
The main professional degree awarded at MIT Sloan, prior to 1995, was the Master of Science (S.M.) in Management–an advanced professional degree combining the course requirements of the more widely-known MBA degree with a formal S.M. dissertation. The completion of a dissertation was previously an Institute-wide requirement for all master’s students. An exception was made for MIT Sloan students starting in 1995, and the school began awarding the MBA degree entirely on the basis of coursework. While some members of the MIT community felt that removing the dissertation requirement would reduce the educational merit of the degree , it was accepted since this was the practice at all other major business schools. MIT Sloan continues to offer the SM degree for students who choose to complete master’s dissertations, but the vast majority of students now receive an MBA degree and do not write a dissertation. In practice, MIT Sloan’s SM and MBA have always been viewed as equivalent in industry, although the SM is preferred as preparation for doctoral work.

In 2006, MIT Sloan launched a new program for entrepreneurs within the MBA degree called the Entrepreneurship & Innovation (E&I) Program. The E&I program centers on starting and evolving emerging technology enterprises

The University is also a major center for educating future academics, with graduate programs offering the A.M. and Ph.D. degrees in several fields. The program allows students to largely structure their own course of study subject to the constraint of a broad set of requirements. This is in contrast to other top-tier business schools, which impose a cohort or learning team system that includes coursework to be completed in a pre-determined order. The program differentiates itself by allowing students the flexibility to construct a program of study that is tailored to their needs, and can be as broad or deep as they choose. There is only one required course for full-time program students: LEAD (Leadership Effectiveness and Development), which students take in their first quarter. LEAD focuses on the fundamental skills of leadership: motivating people, building relationships, and influencing outcomes. Students in the full time program may earn an International MBA, or IMBA, by studying abroad on exchange with another business school, taking certain electives, and by demonstrating oral proficiency in a second, non-native language.
