The Career Reengineering Program is a challenging educational experience that encompasses MIT's intellectual resources, entrepreneurial spirit, and standards of excellence. The program incorporates career and personal development, a technical skills refresher, a semester-long MIT course, and an internship or research project. Students will complete the program with either a job or a strategic plan to find a professional job that matches their abilities and ambition.
Contemporary careers must be built -- and rebuilt -- to meet the demands of rapidly-changing fields. The MIT Professional Education - Career Reengineering Program can help you sharpen the skills essential to relaunch your career. This 10-month, part-time program can help overcome barriers, such as a lag in current knowledge, that often result when talented people leave demanding careers -- even for a short time.
Today’s employers want to hire motivated people who can quickly contribute to their new workplace. They seek excellent engineers and scientists who have taken the initiative to acquire new technical knowledge and hands-on experience with current industry practices. The Career Reengineering Program engages you in advanced education and direct experience that demonstrates your commitment to professional growth.

Career Reengineering Program students arrive with strong academic credentials and professional experience so they can take full advantage of MIT's research and education opportunities. They have earned a minimum of a bachelor's degrees from MIT or other universities; some will have graduate degrees as well. Most left demanding professional jobs for personal reasons and now plan to reenter their fields at a professional level.
