MIT-Entrepreneurship and Innovation

MIT-Entrepreneurship and Innovation

In 2006, MIT Sloan launched a new program for entrepreneurs within the MBA degree called Entrepreneurship & Innovation (E&I). In addition to the MBA awarded by the Sloan School, participants are awarded a Certificate in Entrepreneurship and Innovation from MIT.

The E&I option centers on starting and developing enterprises by bringing together students and faculty from across MIT's disciplines to build businesses around ideas and technologies. The program seeks to formalize MIT's long-standing and leading entrepreneurship offerings. E&I students benefit from a specialized weekly seminar for entrepreneurs which features a speaker series and a networking dinner. In addition, a one-week trip to Silicon Valley is coordinated in conjunction with the MIT Sloan MediaTech club.

Program participants apply to the E&I program as part of the MIT Sloan application process. Upon admission to the MBA program, they are then evaluated for admission to the E&I option.

In addition to the core curriculum required for all MBA students, E&I students must take additional entrepreneurship-oriented courses each semester following the first semester core. They must also attend the Silicon Valley Trek and participate in the MIT $100K Entrepreneurship Competition.

The E&I option is led by Professors Ed Roberts and Ken Morse.
