MBA

The two-year, full-time MBA program provides the intellectual discovery and expert faculty you’d expect from MIT, combined with the flexibility to customize coursework to your goals. After the first-semester core, you can choose your electives—and real-world learning opportunities—to ensure that you’re prepared to analyze and act.

During your first semester here, also called the core semester, you'll be carefully grouped into six cohorts of students from a rich mix of backgrounds, interests, and experiences. Following MIT Sloan tradition, each cohort is named after a body of water:

Atlantic, Baltic, Caribbean, Indian, Mediterranean, and Pacific. Each cohort is then divided into smaller teams. These teams and cohorts move through the core semester together, creating a strong, supportive bond that lasts throughout the MBA experience, and beyond.

After the first-semester core, you have three semesters to create a program that’s right for you. In total, you'll complete 144 units of electives. You may also take up to three approved, non-MIT Sloan graduate-level MIT or Harvard subjects. Some students opt to write a thesis in their second year. 

Working across campus with students and faculty from other disciplines is one of the most exciting opportunities at MIT Sloan. These cross-campus connections spark new ideas, new products, and new companies. 

 MIT Sloan also offers Tracks—which are limited to MBA students—and Certificates—open to all MIT graduate students—so you can focus your studies and dive deep into what interests you.
