Executive Certificate in Management and Leadership - Jacob Luna

“When I stepped into the management and leadership courses at MIT, it was very eye-opening for me. I started to realize just how important it is not only to understand how things fit together logically in technology and cybersecurity, but also how to go beyond logic and meet people where they are. Once I developed that muscle, my career took off.”

Executive Certificate in Management and Leadership - Sumeera Iqbal

 “I have fully transformed my professional life. Executive Education has broadened my perspective, and I’ve achieved so much growth professionally. I realized that, before Executive Education, there were project and tasks that I wouldn’t have done. Today, I feel so much more rewarded and more fulfilled in terms of my personal development.” 

FAQs

Below are answers to some frequently asked questions.

The only requirements for the Executive Certificate are that you enroll in the track(s) you would like to pursue then apply for, are accepted to, and complete three courses within your chosen track and one additional "elective" program (from any of the three tracks) within a four-year period - must total a minimum of 8 EEUs. At least one of the courses must be attended in person or live online.


The Executive Certificate is designed to meet your individual education needs. You attend four courses: three in your chosen track and one additional program, your "elective". The total cost to you would be the costs of the individual programs you attend. We also offer a Multiple Program Discount.

We have implemented Executive Education Units (EEUs) as part of Executive Certificate and ACE requirements. Each course has been assigned a number of EEUs which count toward Certificate requirements and replace "Program Days" which did not accurately represent many online courses.

In order to receive a program certificate of completion, you must attend the entire program. In addition, if you cannot attend the full course, you will not receive any Executive Certificate or ACE credit for the program. If you find that you cannot attend the full program for which you are registered, we advise to you defer your enrollment to the next session. Please see our Cancellation and Deferral policies for more information.
