Are you looking for a school that is distinctly and profoundly American? “The MIT community is driven by a shared purpose: to make a better world through education, research, and innovation. We are fun and quirky, elite but not elitist, inventive and artistic, obsessed with numbers, and welcoming to talented people regardless of where they come from. The Sloan School of Management at Massachusetts Institute of Technology offers these departments and concentrations: accounting, economics, entrepreneurship, finance, general management, health care administration, human resources management, industrial management, international business, leadership, manufacturing and technology management, marketing, management information systems, production/operations management, organizational behavior, supply chain management/logistics, quantitative analysis/statistics and operations research, tax, and technology. Its tuition is full-time: $71,000 per year. At graduation, 84.2 percent of graduates of the full-time program are employed.”
Though graduate students at the Sloan School of Management study at the campus facilities in Cambridge, Mass., their business education has a broader slant. The academic courses are inherently global in nature, and there are dozens of opportunities for students to travel and study abroad. The school also has Action Labs for students to tackle real problems in existing companies in the United States, China and India.
An MBA is generally regarded as the best way to advance up the corporate ladder. Actually the truth is this approach is now so popular, that we now have many universities offering complete MBA programs through online courses alone. These online options allow students an infinitely more flexible schedule allowing them to continue working while earning an advanced degree that teaches them advanced business management skills. These types of programs not only offer a top quality education, but also usable real-world management skills that top-notch supervisors, managers, and executives need to be an expert in, in order to thrive. Not only to thrive, but to excel beyond your wildest imagination.
Here is what MIT has to say about themselves…directly from their website:
“Founded to accelerate the nation’s industrial revolution, MIT is profoundly American. With ingenuity and drive, our graduates have invented fundamental technologies, launched new industries, and created millions of American jobs. At the same time, and without the slightest sense of contradiction, MIT is profoundly global. Our community gains tremendous strength as a magnet for talent from around the world. Through teaching, research, and innovation, MIT’s exceptional community pursues its mission of service to the nation and the world. 
The mission of MIT is to advance knowledge and educate students in science, technology, and other areas of scholarship that will best serve the nation and the world in the 21st century.
The Institute is committed to generating, disseminating, and preserving knowledge, and to working with others to bring this knowledge to bear on the world’s great challenges. MIT is dedicated to providing its students with an education that combines rigorous academic study and the excitement of discovery with the support and intellectual stimulation of a diverse campus community. We seek to develop in each member of the MIT community the ability and passion to work wisely, creatively, and effectively for the betterment of humankind.
Even graduate student organizations at MIT have a global focus, with business clubs for nations around the world. There are also sports clubs for everything from skiing and snowboarding to golfing, and student athletes can join MBA intramural teams to compete with other MBA students throughout the Northeast and across the nation. Students can also compete in yearlong contests in the MIT $100K Entrepreneurship Competition, with cash prizes for winning business plans. Students, faculty and staff meet weekly for Consumption Functions, better known as “C-Functions,” which often celebrate international cultures with food, music and dancing.”
The business school campus is near a stop on the “T” subway system, and downtown Boston is about a 20-minute walk away. Students may live in university housing, though space is limited. MIT is an integral part of its host city of Cambridge, a diverse and vibrant community noted for its intellectual life, history, and thriving innovation climate. With a campus nestled between Central and Kendall Squares, and across the Charles River from Boston’s Back Bay, the Institute is optimally positioned to collaborate with its neighbors and to contribute to its community.
Close to a quarter of Sloan graduates have gone on to become company presidents and CEOs, and some of the most notable alumni include Carly Fiorina, former president and CEO of Hewlett-Packard Co.; John Reed, former chairman of Citicorp; and Benjamin Netanyahu, prime minister of Israel.
