Courses

 

Leaders for Global Operations (LGO)
Leaders for Global Operations (LGO) students learn to solve challenging operations problems by developing knowledge at the intersection of engineering and management. The dual-degree program awards an MBA or a Master of Science from MIT Sloan School of Management and a Master of Science from MIT School of Engineering. The two-year LGO experience features a cross-disciplinary curriculum, a global orientation, significant internship opportunities and an emphasis on leadership and teamwork. LGO’s partner companies play a critical role in all facets of the program.

  • Degrees received: Master of Science in Engineering Systems (etc.), MBA*
  • Type of program: professional
  • Duration of program: 2 years, beginning in June
  • How to apply

Master of Engineering in Logistics (MLOG)
The Master of Engineering in Logistics (MLOG) attracts business professionals from across the globe to participate in its one-of-a-kind logistics and supply chain management program. Started in 1998 by the MIT Center for Transportation & Logistics, MLOG provides its graduates with proficiency in both problem-solving and change leadership, which are skills they are now practicing in a wide variety of industries, including consulting, manufacturing, retail, logistics, distribution and software.

  • Degree received: Master of Engineering in Logistics
  • Type of program: professional
  • Duration of program: 9 months, beginning August/September
  • How to apply

System Design and Management (SDM)
The System Design and Management (SDM) program offers a master’s degree jointly awarded by the MIT School of Engineering and the MIT Sloan School of the Management. Built on a foundation of core courses in system architecture, systems engineering, and system and project management, SDM starts with technically grounded professionals and prepares them to be holistic systems thinkers, innovators, and leaders working in a wide range of organizations.

  • Degree received: Master of Science in Engineering and Management
  • Type of program: professional
  • Duration of program: variable, beginning in January
  • How to apply

Technology and Policy Program (TPP)
The Technology and Policy Program (TPP) strives to develop leaders who can create, refine, and implement responsible policies that are informed not only by an understanding of technology and its instruments, but also by the broad social contexts that both shape and are shaped by technology. The curriculum is grounded in the goal of providing a dual competency: strength both in a technical field and in the policy process, combining a core in engineering or the natural sciences with studies in applied social sciences. TPP’s graduates are equipped to be effective leaders in both the public and private sectors.

  • Degree received: Master of Science in Technology and Policy
  • Type of program: research-based
  • Typical duration of program: two years, beginning in September
  • How to apply

Master of Science Degree in Engineering Systems
The engineering systems master of science degree option typically serves students in one of three categories: it is the engineering SM for many LGO students, it can serve as the home for students interested in the Human-Systems Engineering Track, and it can serve as a dual degree for MIT graduate students wishing to broaden their research into the examination of an engineering systems problem. A very few exceptional candidates may also be admitted directly to the engineering systems master’s degree option, but only in cases where there is a clear and compelling academic match, and support is forthcoming.

  • Degree received: Master of Science in Engineering Systems
  • Type of program: research-based
  • Typical duration of program: one or two years, beginning in September
  • How to apply

* Occasionally students choose to receive a Master of Science in Management instead
