MIT Sloan School of Management
The Sloan School of Management at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is one of the worlds leading business schools, conducting cutting-edge research and providing management education to top students from more than 60 countries. The School is part of MITs rich intellectual tradition of education and research.
MIT Sloan began in 1914 as engineering administration curriculum 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 todays broad-based management school.
A program offering a masters degree in management was established in 1925. The worlds first university-based executive education program - the Sloan Fellows - was created in 1931 under the sponsorship of Alfred P. Sloan, Jr., an 1895 MIT graduate who was then chairman of General Motors. A Sloan Foundation grant established the MIT School of Industrial Management in 1952 with a charge of educating the "ideal manager."
