MIT Sloan Fellows Program in Innovation and Global Leadership


The MIT Sloan Fellows Program in Innovation and Global Leadership is another milestone in MIT's legacy of innovation. This revolutionary program brings together high-potential mid-career managers from all over the world to analyze and solve complex global challenges.

The oldest program of its kind in the United States, the MIT Sloan Fellows Program in Innovation and Global Leadership brings together high-potential, mid-career managers from a diverse array of industries, organizations, and governments from all over the world to analyze and solve complex global challenges.

The program is characterized by a rigorous academic curriculum, frequent interactions with international business and government leaders, and a valuable exchange of global perspectives. Fellows may choose to attend the program on an intense, 12-month, full-time schedule or on a two-year “flex” schedule that permits them to maintain a presence in their local organizations. Depending on their course of study, participants also have a choice of three degrees: an MBA, a Master of Science in Management, or a Master of Science in Management of Technology. Graduates include the chairs, CEOs, and presidents of leading national and multinational organizations.

Fellows come to the Institute from around the globe to work with the School's preeminent faculty, with successful corporate and government leaders, and with their talented peers. They graduate into the Society of Sloan Fellows of MIT having experienced a profound metamorphosis in the way they live, work, and lead.

Every year, approximately 100 outstanding executives come to the MIT Sloan Fellows Program from corporations, governments, and nonprofits. From high technology, finance, manufacturing, and entrepreneurial ventures. From every region and every time zone. And they all come to the program for the same reason: to develop into leaders who will have an impact on the world.

Fellows often say that while the individual learning components are potent alone, it is their strategic integration that makes the program such a powerhouse. The learning experience is the strategic fusion of a rigorous curriculum, inspired collaborations, personal reflection, and immersion in one of the most vibrant centers of business and technology on earth.
