rca215,
LFM is in deed a joint degree program (awards an SM and MBA), offered jointly by Sloan and the School of Engineering. This is what the LFM program's FAQ page states:
All LFM graduates earn two degrees:
A Master of Science degree (sometimes referred to at MIT as an SM) in an engineering field in one of the participating departments in the School of Engineering, and
An MBA or a Master of Science in Management from MIT Sloan.
The primary difference between the MBA and Master of Science is that the science degree requires a thesis. Since all LFM students complete a thesis as part of their program, LFM graduates may choose either the MBA or the Master of Science degree.
and by the way, what is that E & I track? Is this some sorta of B-school lingo that one should become familiar with? I am yet to get used to these B-school lingos and any insight into this will help folks like myself. Thanks.
