#One Year MBA - MIT Sloan Fellows Program Components

The sum of its parts is incalculable.

The MIT Sloan Fellows Program has no equal because its components and their cumulative impact are unique. No other experience in the executive education realm allows you to step back for a full year to rethink, retool, and reinvigorate your career and your life. To build knowledge, confidence, and critical leadership skills. To meet and brainstorm with the greatest leaders of your day. And to do all that in collaboration with 100+ talented global peers at MIT, the most dynamic interdisciplinary think tank on earth.

"Dedicating 12 months to this program is one of the most strategic investments you can make in your career. It's a year that pays off in ways you could never imagine. I have a better head for finance, negotiation, global business practice. I have greater emotional intelligence and cultural awareness. I am a more effective leader and a better person. And I have trusted business advisors—my fellow alumni—on the ground all over the world. Yes, you will improve during those same 12 months on the job, but you will never approach the level of growth you experience as a Sloan Fellow."

"At MIT and the neighborhood that surrounds it, the thinking is miles ahead—and the learning experience is enduring. You are so engaged that you deeply absorb what you are studying and it becomes second nature to you. Every now and then I recognize that I am using something I learned back in the program and I say, 'Ah, there it is again. The Sloan Fellows Factor.' I feel that what I learned in the program grows in value as I integrate it with what I learn in the course of my career."

"The MIT Sloan Fellows Program was a pivotal year in our life as a family, a year of growing and bonding on so many levels for all of us. My wife and children made friends from around the world and participated in the many events the program and fellows hosted. We came to look upon the members of the Sloan Fellows family as our brothers and sisters."
