About the Sloan School

The Sloan MBA program matriculates students every year from more than 60 countries. It also offers the widest range of electives (174) and according to US News, is ranked #1 in more disciplines than any other business school in the United States. In addition to its professional programs, the Sloan School also offers a Ph.D. program aimed at preparing doctoral students for roles in business academia.

Sloan is home to a number of research centers, including the MIT Entrepreneurship Center, the Financial Engineering Lab, the Center for eBusiness, the System Dynamics Group, the Operations Management Group, and the Center for Innovation in Product Development. It also publishes the peer-reviewed management journal MIT Sloan Management Review.

History

The Sloan School began in 1914 as the engineering administration curriculum (or "Course XV" in the MIT parlance) in the MIT Department of Economics and Statistics. The scope and depth of this educational focus have grown steadily in response to advances in the theory and practice of management to today’s broad-based management school. A program offering a master’s degree in management was established in 1925. The world’s first university-based executive education program - the Sloan Fellows - was created in 1931 under the sponsorship of Alfred P. Sloan, Jr., himself an 1895 MIT graduate, who was chairman of General Motors and has since been credited with creating the modern corporation. A Sloan Foundation grant established the MIT School of Industrial Management in 1952 with the charge of educating the "ideal manager", and the school was renamed in Sloan's honor.
