Earn an Advanced Certificate for Executives in Management, Innovation, and Technology (ACE) with multiple courses:

ACE is not a single course with a single group of participants. As an ACE participant, you choose the courses that best suit your interests and schedule. You can start earning ACE at any time, as soon as you enroll in one of our 90+ open enrollment programs.

In order to earn the ACE, you must:

• Select at least 25 EEUs Executive Education Units (EEUs)
• Complete at least two courses from each of these three Executive Certificate tracks: Management and Leadership; Strategy and Innovation; Technology and Operations which are considered core tracks of the ACE. The rest of the courses may be from ANY track.
  • At least 10 EEUs must be completed on-site or through completion of a live online course versus through a self-paced online course
• Finish all requirements within a four-year window
• Add the ACE to your cart and check out in order to formally enroll and have your courses be counted toward the requirements. Please see the red "Enroll Now" bar and click on "Add to Cart."

Participants interested in an immersive, single experience have the option of attending multiple programs over a eight- to ten-week period; other participants may opt to spread their courses out over a longer period time, up to four years, according to workload and budget constraints. With MIT's Advanced Executive Certificate, no long-term commitment is required. If you participate in one or several courses, but are unable to complete the number required for an ACE, you will still take away the benefits of MIT's unique management insights, a new understanding of the global business environment, and a much-enriched network.

Earn an ACE Through a single course:

The following longer courses grant an ACE upon completion:

• Advanced Management Program
• Executive Program in General Management

Enroll now:

Go to the red bar at the bottom of the page,  click add to cart.  When you are ready, checkout. (Please note that there is currently no cost to enroll in ACE at this time.) You can enroll at any time - before or after completing courses.

Since you select the courses that best fit your learning objectives and schedule, there are many ways to earn your ACE. At least two courses must be from each of the core Executive Certificate tracks (Management and Leadership; Strategy and Innovation; Technology and Operations.) Some people like to schedule back-to-back courses to complete the requirements in the shortest possible time frame while others prefer to space their courses out over the allotted four years.

What does the ACE cost?

It depends. There is no one set price if you are completing the requirements with multiple courses. You select the courses that fit your schedule and educational plan. The total cost would be the price of the individual courses completed.

You don't have to enroll in and pay for all of the programs at one time, however there are significant savings when you take advantage of the Multiple Program Registration Discount.

If you opt to complete the ACE requirements with the Advanced Management Program or Executive Program in General Management, your cost would be the tuition of the course.

Multiple Program Registration Discount:
When you register at one time for two or three courses (using a single application form), you are eligible for a 10% discount on each course. Or register for four or more courses and receive 15% off each course.
