A Network for Life

M.S. in MIT students have significant experience across numerous industries and bring to each class a wide range of managerial or technical experience across IT projects, product lines, and programs. They learn as much from each other as they do from professors and guest speakers.

We work the network into the class with our Executives on Grounds program in the Digital Transformation module. Students have an opportunity to pitch their own original business ideas to established C-level executives in a one-on-one meeting. That's the network in action.

Success Stories

“In addition to the amazing professors, lecturers, and programmed class content, the class discussions bring so much value to the program and my personal learning. I’d say I have learned just as much from my peers as I have learned from the faculty.”

IT Change and Program Manager, World Bank Group

“Whether you are three decades in and want to continue your education, just starting your career like me, or looking to pivot into tech, there is something for everyone in the M.S. in MIT. Make that investment in yourself, because I have no doubt that I am a better engineer and will be a better leader because I did.”

“Listening to understand is also a key part of being a people manager—understanding the individuals in your team, how they can work together, and what they need to succeed. Active listening is a business and a people skill that the M.S. in MIT does a wonderful job at developing.”

Charlie Trinco (M.S. in MIT ’23)

HR Technology Product Manager, Coinbase

“I saw the program as an opportunity to better understand the needs of my business customers and to open up new career opportunities for myself in tech roles. The program also aligned with the experience I hoped to get out of grad school, one where I could continue working and the curriculum would fall hand in hand with what I do on a daily basis.”

Corinne Baker (M.S. in MIT ’23)

Technology Third Party Manager at Capital One
