Executive Certificate in Technology and Operations - Brad Flaugher

“I feel like MIT was a safe place for someone who was a management skeptic to learn about management. And now I feel like a manager who has a good level of support as well. Management science is no longer scary to me. I know who I can go to to ask questions. I know I have resources. And if I want to learn more, I can access that. I heard someone once say that he likes to keep 70 percent of his bookshelf full of books he hasn’t read yet. Now, with MIT, I feel like I have my bookshelf stocked with people and courses I can turn to. And it’s MIT. They are really nice leather-bound books.”

Executive Certificate in Technology and Operations - Jillian Kaplan

“Realize that it’s not all-consuming. You can still have a life, a job, a family, and take a course. I’ve gone very slow—just two classes a year. That’s comfortable for me financially and for my schedule. Be proud of yourself for taking a class! Celebrate it! Brag! Invite a friend to join you. To me, there’s no downside to continuing your education.”

FAQs

Copy Link

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.
