MIT Sloan MS in Management Studies students taking questions

morespring

Hi all,
We are current Chinese students from MIT Sloan's MS in Management Studies (MSMS) program. It is a brand new program, only in its second year. It's different from traditional MBA programs, but it can be the best fit for you depending on your specific background and goals. We are ready to take any questions here, and our program administrators have kindly offered to help if there are questions that we can't answer.

Program Overview (from program website)
The new Master of Science in Management Studies (MSMS) program at MIT Sloan offers the opportunity for talented students from around the world to enhance their expertise in a chosen concentration within management studies. This rigorous program accepts top MBA or equivalent degree students from non-U.S. business schools to study a specific field in depth while working alongside world-renowned MIT Sloan faculty. The end result is a Master of Science degree from MIT Sloan in just two semesters.
Participants in this program will take classes and write a thesis in their chosen concentration subject. Participants enroll in regular MIT Sloan elective classes and can take classes in other MIT departments or at Harvard University. Upon graduation, participants will join the ranks of MIT alumni and be able to tap into its rich and resourceful international network.

Program Highlights
- It's shorter. It is only 9-month long and therefore can be very attractive for people who have already done a master's degree from a non-US business school or an MBA and feel reluctant to spend another two years in school.
- It's highly flexible. You can choose to take almost any Sloan MBA elective you want as well as almost any course offered by MIT and Harvard. You can make it whatever program you want.
- You have the opportunity to concentrate on a certain area by taking relevant courses and writing a thesis on that subject. It's completely up to you as to the concentration and the thesis subject.

Student Body
- Very diversified student body. This year the 20 MSMS students are of 14 nationalities.
-  Six Chinese Mandarin speakers, of which four have foreign passports and applied as international MBA students at Tsinghua (Sloan partner school), one applied from an Australian university (not a partner school of Sloan), and the other come directly from work (did a master degree from a non-partner school of Sloan in China years ago)
- Most people have work experience, while some don't

Placement
- Students have the same access to Career Services as MBA students, and this year the class even has a dedicated career advisor
- Last year some people stayed in US while some go back to where they come from
- Of the two Chinese passport holders from last year, one stayed in US for consulting, and the other came back to Shanghai for consulting

Application
- The requirements are a little different from those of a typical MBA program. Please check last year's requirement carefully at http://mitsloan.mit.edu/academic/msms/checklist.php, and remember to check for updates for this year's application
- For people with a non-MBA master degree from a business school, it's sometimes more difficult to determine the eligibility. Feel free to ask the program administers at http://mitsloan.mit.edu/academic/msms/questions.php, they are extremely helpful.

Please let us know if you have any question regarding the program

To magickame,诚如mishiking所言，美国商科硕士（本科也普遍在4、5万美元）的学费都很贵，基本上都在4.5万- ...

to morespring，
你一定是大牛~~~ 要什么样的条件才可以拿到奖学金啊？是给offer的时候一起给的么？
求update近况~

因为我寒假会回北京，所以打算跟准备申请的同学一起喝个咖啡聊聊申请的事情以及这一学期来的体验。大概在12月底到1月初之间。有兴趣的同学给我留个Email吧，具体时间定了后通知你们。

谢谢！

To Duro,

MIT MFin我了解有限，你可以联系在读的同学。我了解的基本情况是这一届一共招了60人左右，其中中国学生20左右（但其中包括几个在海外申请的中国人），传说申请者900人左右吧。我认识很多同学都是纯金融/经济背景，没有读过数学和工程。

SLOAN真正赚外快的是MSF，不是这个。

To Duro,

很遗憾本科毕业不能申请MSMS。不过如果对金融有兴趣的话可以考虑MIT 的Master of Finance. 从去年的就业以及今年至今的面试情况来看，这项目还是不错的。

请问morespring, MSF项目大概每年能招多少中国学生？录取率大概是多少？是不是要很强的数学和工程背景？我是学会计金融的，但是没怎么上数学和工程。

学费还是蛮贵的
大部分MS学费低于他的1/2
不过学校牌子是好 就当是过去享受一番经历吧

我看了一下课程，觉得很好呀，
请问是不是只有mba和master可以申请，本科毕业不可以申请的？
