Sometimes, business professionals enroll in a short course or earn an Executive Certificate and decide that they want more—more in-depth, hands-on learning experiences, more time with faculty and peers, additional time to experience the dynamic MIT ecosystem, and further recognition of their commitment to continuous education.
Unlike an MBA, you are able to design the ACE yourself through selecting the courses that best fit your needs and schedule within the program requirements; it doesn't consist of a prescribed set of courses unless you opt to enroll in one of courses that confer the ACE upon completion.
While you have up to four years to meet the requirements, you can earn your ACE in less time if you take advantage of back-to-back courses or enroll in the Advanced Management Program or Executive Program in General Management.
Throughout this process, you'll deepen your executive skillset, get up to speed on timely business topics, or tailor your certificate to address specific challenges you face. Many other executives have built their knowledge this way, and you can join them.
