Curriculum
What subjects/areas of study are offered at MIT Sloan?
A list of subjects offered at the MIT Sloan School is available on the MIT web pages. You should also visit our Curriculum pages for a description of our curriculum.
What are the degree requirements for the MIT Sloan MBA Program?
All degree candidates enrolled in the MBA Program complete a required core curriculum in addition to 144 units of electives. Students may take up to two non-MIT Sloan graduate level MIT or Harvard subjects approved by the MIT Sloan School while enrolled in the program towards completion of degree requirements (there is no credit limit to these two subjects). Most MIT Sloan School subjects range from 3 to 12 units based on an approximation of weekly class hours, lab or thesis units, and outside preparation time. During the second year, students have the option of writing a thesis.
MIT Sloan requires students to maintain residence for four consecutive semesters.
What degree do MIT Sloan MBA Program graduates receive? What is the difference between the MBA degree and the Master of Science in Management?
Upon completion of degree requirements, candidates receive either a Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree or Master of Science (SM) in Management. Only students who complete a thesis may elect to receive the Master of Science in Management. The thesis is optional for MBA degree candidates.
What is the teaching style for professors at MIT Sloan?
MIT Sloan faculty employ theoretical, case study, applied and practical teaching methods throughout the course load. The teaching method used in a class is the choice of the individual professor. Most subjects will combine the methods; the philosophy of MIT Sloan is that you need to understand the fundamentals before you can apply them.
Students are expected to participate and contribute to class and team discussions.
What is the average class size?
Core classes have approximately 60 students (except the communications class, which averages 15 students). These subjects typically have small discussion sections in which you have the opportunity to discuss conceptual issues and work on problem sets. Elective subjects typically have 25 to 60 students (although a few number as high as 90), and seminars may have even fewer students.
Do you accept transfer students?
The MIT Sloan MBA Program does not accept any transfer credits.
Can I waive management subjects? Can I transfer credits from previous MIT Sloan coursework?
No subjects may be waived. Students who have completed previous graduate-level elective coursework at MIT Sloan can petition the MBA Program Office for credit for elective subjects.
Is there a part-time program? Is there a program starting in January?
No, MIT Sloan does not offer any part-time or spring-entry programs.
What is the Leaders for Manufacturing Program?
The Leaders for Manufacturing Program is a two-year, dual-degree program in which students receive an MBA or SM in Management and an SM in one of seven engineering departments. The program is a partnership between MIT and major U.S. manufacturing companies. LFM students are part of and participate fully in the MIT Sloan MBA Program. The program, which starts in June each year, includes a 6.5-month internship at a partner company and a generous financial aid package. Please visit the LFM Website for more information.
Are there other joint degree programs?
MIT Sloan does not offer joint admissions with any other programs; it is the candidate’s responsibility to apply to other programs separately, and to design a dual-degree program that will satisfy degree requirements at both programs.
Does MIT Sloan offer a Ph.D. Program? Does MIT Sloan offer programs for executives?
Yes, MIT Sloan offers both a PhD Program and a series of degree and non-degree programs for executives.
Student Life
How many students attend the MIT Sloan MBA Program?
MIT Sloan has approximately 350 MBA students per class (including approximately 50 Leaders for Manufacturing students) for a total of about 700 students.
What student clubs exist at MIT Sloan? What if I want to start a new club?
Each year there are about 40 student organizations and clubs at MIT Sloan. The clubs sponsor events, invite and host speakers, and conduct forums. There are also intramural sports teams which compete within the MIT intramural system, as well as against other MBA programs in the northeast and nationally. If there is an area that interests you, but is not represented through a student organization, we encourage you to start one.
Where do most MIT Sloan students live?
Most MIT Sloan students choose to live off campus. The MIT Off-Campus Housing Office is an excellent resource for locating possibilities. Affordable housing can be found close to the campus and near the public transportation system.
On-campus housing is available. Demand exceeds supply, so a lottery system is used to allocate both the single student and married student housing units.
