MIT Sloan's two-year MBA Program is comprised of a combination of case studies, team projects, lectures, live case discussions, interactions with industry leaders, and hands-on lab classes.
Throughout the first-semester core, students work in teams of five or six, gaining skills through required coursework in economics, accounting, managerial communication, business statistics, and organizational processes.
Only one semester long, the short core gives students freedom to pursue individual goals throughout the rest of the program.
