Located on MIT’s campus in Cambridge Massachusetts, the full time MIT Sloan Fellows programs are designed to allow mid-career professionals to gain the knowledge to improve performance in their current career, switch careers, or even start a new business. The Sloan Fellows programs are STEM designated.

The MIT Sloan Fellows provides three different STEM designated degree options.  For example, Sloan Fellows can earn an MBA, a MS in Management or a MS in Technology.  Note:  while there is no thesis required for the MBA degree, there is a thesis requirement for both the MS in Management and the MS in Technology degrees.

Students begin the one-year MIT Sloan Fellows program in June with an in depth 360-degree leadership assessment as well as executive coaching sessions. In the summer term, students take foundation courses in economics, data, financial accounting, marketing, strategy, operations and organizational processes.  In both the fall and spring terms, students can customize their business education by taking electives and engaging in projects suited to their interest. For example, one of the ways that MIT Sloan Fellows can customize their learning is by completing up to two certificate programs. Certificate programs are offered for Analytics, Product Management, Enterprise Management, Entrepreneurship & Innovation, Finance, Health Care and Sustainability.
