Sloan Fellows
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Sloan Fellows program is a mid-career masters' degree in general management supported by a grant from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.
The program was started at the MIT Sloan School of Management in 1940, which still has the largest Sloan Fellows program. In the following decades, the program was expanded to include Sloan Master's at Stanford Graduate School of Business and Sloan Fellowship at London Business School.
Unlike Executive MBA programs which are part-time over 18-36 months, the Sloan Fellows program is a full-time year of intensive study. MIT offers both a twelve-months full-time as well as a 2 years "flex" version for Massachusetts residents. Stanford's ten-month full-time program concludes with an International Study Trip[1]. At London, the degree lasts for 11 months, ending with a major summer project[2].
Sloan Fellows at MIT may opt for an M.B.A. degree, an SM in management, or an SM in the management of technology depending on their curricular and research choices. Sloan Fellows at Stanford are awarded a Master of Science in Management degree. Sloan Fellows at London Business School are awarded a Sloan Fellowship MSc.
Sloan Fellow alumni include, among others, Kofi Annan (MIT SF '72) and Carly Fiorina (MIT SF '89).
