Sloan Fellows

The Sloan Fellows program is a middle and senior-career master's degree program in general management and leadership offered at MIT, Stanford University, and London Business School (LBS).

History
The Sloan Fellows Program was created at the MIT Sloan School of Management in 1930, by Alfred P. Sloan, Chairman of General Motors from 1937 to 1956. Sloan envisioned the program as a means of developing the "ideal manager". The Sloan Fellows Program is the world's first general management and leadership education program for mid-career experienced managers. In the following decades, the program was expanded to include masters degree programmes at the Stanford Graduate School of Business in 1957, and London Business School in 1968. In 2013, Stanford changed the name of its Sloan programme from the Stanford Sloan Master's to the Master of Science in Management for Experienced Leaders (Stanford MSx). ==Academics==
Academics
The program is delivered full-time over the course of 12–14 months, depending on electives. LBS and MIT Sloan offer an optional research thesis. In addition to the standard management curriculum, the Sloan program contains a personal development component designed to develop the leadership and strategic thinking capabilities of Fellows. The LBS program emphasises strategy, leadership and personal development. ==Admission==
Admission
Admission to the Sloan Fellow programs is highly selective. Fellows comprise a mix of company and self-sponsored candidates. At all three schools, a significant degree of experience is required for admission. At MIT, the admissions process involves resume screening followed by a 30-minute phone orientation. Prospective applicants are also invited to visit the program in Cambridge, Massachusetts for class visits, to engage with current students and meet the program officers. After the initial screening, applicants submit a formal application, which includes undergraduate transcripts, GMAT or GRE score report, letters of recommendation, and personal essays. The received applications are screened by the admissions committee, and selected applicants are invited for a formal admissions interview, usually held on campus, or via video conference for international students. Following the interview, admissions decisions are made and applicants are notified. This process is repeated three times for three rounds of application deadlines. ==Comparison against traditional MBA==
