MIT Professional Education

MIT Professional Education is a leader in technology and engineering education for working professionals pursuing career advancement and for organizations seeking to meet modern-day challenges by expanding the knowledge and skills of their employees. Programs are delivered in a range of formats: on-campus, online, and through blended approaches that meet the needs of today's learners.

Short Programs offer more than 40 courses in two-to-five-day sessions on-campus or in a live online format, primarily in the summer. These intensive courses feature MIT's breakthrough research with practitioner-oriented insights from MIT faculty, industry, and government experts to sharpen the ability of learners to succeed in a rapidly changing technological world.

Digital Plus Programs offer online courses lasting five-to-ten weeks that explore key drivers of innovation within industry, from Blockchain to the Internet of Things. Available in four languages other than English, these offerings provide access to MIT expertise from anywhere in the world—helping a diverse set of learners close critical skills gaps and strengthen their competitive positioning.

Corporate Programs offer companies the chance to develop a course around relevant topics of interest or tailor an existing MIT Professional Education course to meet organizational needs. These programs are generally offered on the MIT campus but can be delivered on-site.

International Programs are offered in international locations and allow local learners to gain knowledge in topics that are relevant to the regions in which they live. These programs are generally two-to-five days long.

The Advanced Study Program offers professionals and select non-MIT graduate students the chance to attend traditional MIT full-semester, for credit classes on campus without having to enroll in an MIT degree program. This program offers maximum flexibility and advanced learning experiences for those looking to further their knowledge and moving up in careers.
