“The world had changed since I completed my degrees. I was looking for a different approach to continue with my professional development ... I wanted learning that I could apply immediately, in real life. I wanted to be challenged to do things differently and know how to influence others to think differently too. And, of course, I wanted to be endorsed by one of the best schools around the world. You can get all of that from MIT.” - Norma Castillo Lopez, Supply Chain Finance Manager, Pepsico, Latin America
While you will receive a certificate of course completion at the conclusion of each individual course, our Executive Certificates are designed around a central track and consist of several courses.
To earn an MIT Sloan Certificate in Strategy and Innovation, participants must choose three courses in the Strategy and Innovation track, plus a fourth from any of the three tracks - totalling at least eight Executive Education Units (EEUs.) (The other two tracks are Technology and Operations and Management and Leadership.) Although online courses can be used toward an Executive Certificate, at least one must be attended in person or live online.

With more than 50 short courses in our portfolio and dozens of back-to-back course options, there has never been a better time to complete your certificate requirements.

What does an Executive Certificate cost? It depends. There is no one set price. You select the courses that fit your schedule and educational plan. The total cost would be the price of the individual courses completed. You may choose all two-day programs or a mixture of two-day and week-long programs. 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.
Multiple Program Registration Discount:

“MIT was a true game changer for me. The live online courses are excellent … I was blown away by the quality of the content. I especially appreciate how quickly we got to the value. These professors focus on the big, impactful insights and leave out the unnecessary fluff that I don’t need to relearn over and over again. And they stretched me to think differently about topics I thought I already understood.” - Steve Suarez, Global Head of Innovation, Finance & Risk, HSBC
