The MIT Experience

MIT is a world leader in engineering, analytics, robotics, AI, and sustainability—the top-trending areas in supply chain management right now. Ask anyone here what their favorite part of MIT is and they’ll say “the people.” Join us and surround yourself with creative, thoughtful, driven people who think tackling the world’s most pressing problems is thrilling. People who will challenge and inspire you to become the leader you want to be.

The biggest takeaway from the program so far is this— I may be at an institution known for its technology, analytics, and engineering, but it was not the hours spent coding or doing math that taught me the most. Instead, it was the hours spent coding or doing math alongside the smartest people I now know that has taught me the most.”

This year I have been exposed to companies, career paths, and opportunities that I was unaware of before. I built new skills by focusing on analytics in supply chain, which has already proven fruitful in my job searches. I feel I now have knowledge and skills that set me apart in the world of supply chain professionals.”
