Sloan Undergraduate Program in Management Science

Co-investigator Mary S Camerlengo


The MIT Sloan Undergraduate Program in Management Science provides a rigorous, analytical understanding of managerial decision-making.

Continually ranked as one of the top undergraduate business programs in the nation by U.S. News and World Report, the program's cutting-edge approach is especially designed to prepare students for top jobs in today's technology-intensive business world.

Bachelor of Science in Management Science -- MIT Sloan offers an innovative undergraduate major in management science that prepares students for their choice of jobs in today’s technologically oriented business world. Students gain exposure to management tools such as optimization, probability, statistics, and mathematical modeling along with completing a concentration in one of four areas: finance, information technologies, marketing science, and operations research. Graduates of the program work in areas such as financial services, commercial banking, consulting, marketing, and information technology. In addition to their required MIT Sloan subjects, management science majors take the same General Institute Requirements as all other MIT undergraduates. The result is the best of both worlds: superior analytical skills focused on contemporary managerial problems.

Minor in Management -- The minor in management is designed for MIT undergraduates who are pursuing majors in academic disciplines other than Sloan School of Management (Course 15). The goal of the program is to promote an understanding of the economic, social, and managerial dimensions of scientific and technological endeavors, thereby increasing the effectiveness and leadership potential of MIT graduates.
MIT Sloan faculty, moreover, are fundamental to the undergraduate student experience. They are world-renowned researchers and challenging instructors, but they are also approachable mentors and advisors.
