MIT Sloan Management Review
, a leading academic journal
focused on the management of innovation, has been published by the school since 1959.
program—was created in 1931 under the sponsorship of Alfred P. Sloan
, himself an 1895 MIT graduate, who was chairman of General Motors and has since been credited with creating the modern corporation. An Alfred P. 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 as the Alfred P. Sloan School of Management.
In the 1960s, the school played a leading role in founding the first Indian Institute of Management. In 1990, the MIT Entrepreneurship Center
was founded at MIT Sloan, one of the few business school entrepreneurship centers in the world focused on high tech
. It sponsors both the MIT $100K Entrepreneurship Competition
as well as the popular and unique Entrepreneurship Lab and Global Entrepreneurship Lab courses, which sponsor MBA students to work on-site with start-ups throughout the world. The school has grown to the point where management has become the second largest undergraduate major at MIT, and in 2005, an undergraduate minor in management was opened to 100 students each year. The Sloan Business Club is the official undergraduate business club for all MIT students.
MIT Sloan has numerous initiatives to establish business practices that strengthen local economies and positively shape the future of global business. These include initiatives aimed at giving people and organizations the knowledge to conduct business productively in every corner of the world. Examples of MIT Sloan's primary initiatives in this arena are the MIT-China Management Education Project, the International Faculty Fellows Program, and partnerships with IMD
, IESE
, Tsinghua University
, the Sungkyunkwan University
Graduate School of Business, the New University of Lisbon
, and the Skolkovo Moscow School of Management. In addition to these programs, the school is engaged in other educational and research initiatives on five continents.
The MIT Sloan culture is similar to, but also distinct from, overall MIT culture
, and is influenced most strongly by its MBA program. The curriculum is focused on action learning, which requires that students apply concepts learned in the classroom to real-world business settings. Courses are taught using both the case method
as well as through lecture
s and team projects. The academic level of coursework is considered extremely rigorous by business school standards, with a greater emphasis on analytical reasoning and quantitative analysis than most top programs. Courses are offered in accounting, economics
, entrepreneurship
, finance
, industrial relations, information technology
, leadership
, marketing
, operations management
, organizational behavior, statistics
, strategic management
, supply chain management
, and many other fields.
Academic rigor has a strong influence on the school's culture. The first semester, also known as the core, is the most difficult of all semesters by design. Students are required to take the following courses: Economic Analysis for Business Decisions, Financial Accounting, DMD (Data, Models and Decisions), Organizational Processes, and Communication for Managers. In addition, they may choose to take either Finance Theory or Introduction to Marketing. In 2005, the students and faculty expressed solidarity against the core by wearing t-shirts that said "think outside the core." In 2006, the students placed their name-cards upside-down during the weeks where the workload was particularly demanding.
Courses are graded using letter grades and on the same five-point scale used throughout MIT. In its graduate programs, anything less than a 4.0 ("B") average will not allow the student to graduate. Unlike most other leading business schools, MIT Sloan is consistent with MIT and does not offer any academic honors at graduation. The philosophy behind this is that the honor is in being an MIT graduate. MIT Sloan graduates wear the famous MIT class ring, known as the Brass Rat
. MIT Sloan students and alumni informally call themselves Sloanies.
A staple of MIT Sloan life is the weekly C-Function, which stands alternately for "cultural function" or "consumption function". The school sponsors food and drink for all members of the MIT Sloan graduate community to enjoy entertainment organized by a specific campus cultural groups or clubs as well as parties with non-cultural themes. These functions are held on most Thursdays, often in the Walker Memorial building near the school. MIT Sloan alumni groups around the world also organize C-Functions for their club members, for social and networking activities.
MIT Sloan closely collaborates with MIT's engineering
, science
, and economics
programs, all of which are regularly ranked #1 in the world. MIT and Harvard University
also collaborate, and students at each institution frequently pursue simultaneous graduate degrees at the other. In addition, MIT Sloan students can freely cross-register for courses at Harvard Business School
, and vice versa, the only pair of leading business schools to have such an agreement. Some joint degree programs have been formalized between MIT Sloan and Harvard, including the Biomedical Enterprise Program with the Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology
and a joint MBA/MPP
program with the Harvard Kennedy School.

The MIT Sloan School of Management began in 1914, as the engineering administration curriculum (or "Course 15" in the MIT parlance) in the MIT Department of Economics and Statistics.
