MIT Sloan School of Management

The Sloan School of Management was founded at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1914 with a curriculum in engineering administration. 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., the 1895 MIT graduate who was then chairman of General Motors.

A Sloan Foundation grant established the MIT School of Industrial Management in 1952 charged with educating the "ideal manager." Today, MIT Sloan is one of the world's leading innovators in management research and practices.
