Choose your own management adventure.
At MIT Sloan, your MBA journey begins with a rigorous Core semester, where you and your cohort dive deep into essential management concepts, building a strong foundation in leadership, economics, and data-driven decision-making. From there, the path is yours to define.
With access to a wide range of electives, real-world learning experiences, and opportunities to collaborate across MIT’s vibrant campus, you have the flexibility to tailor your curriculum to meet your professional goals. Whether you aspire to innovate within established industries or launch new ventures, the MBA curriculum empowers you to author your own management adventure.
Think, act, reflect (repeat).
MIT’s motto, "mens et manus," translates from Latin to mind and hand. With intention, MIT’s founders knew that, above all, education was for practical application.
Simply put, it's not enough to sit in an ivory tower and think about stuff all day—you have to go out in the world and make use of it. Learning by doing is a centerpiece of the MBA experience. Through Action Learning labs, MIT Sloan Intensive Period, and the MIT Independent Activities Period, you get to practice these skills over and over again.
"Action Learning embodies the MIT spirit. It really is, We've talked enough. Now let's get out of the classroom and roll up our sleeves. We need to get things done."Read More
