MIT's Classes Related to Entrepreneurship<\/strong><\/p>\n

With a school motto of \"Mens et Manu,\" or \"Mind and Hand,\" it's no wonder that entrepreneurship plays such a central role in the MIT academic ecosystem.<\/p>\n

MIT Sloan's five core courses are all taken during the first semester, along with one elective course. The core structure<\/a> \"provides the foundation of freedom and flexibility you need to pursue your personal goals and interests throughout the rest of your time at MIT Sloan.\" Students interested in specializing in entrepreneurship will embark on the Entrepreneurship & Innovation (E&I) Track<\/a>. When they complete their studies, they will receive an Entrepreneurship & Innovation Certificate<\/a> in addition to their MBA.<\/p>\n

In the first semester, along with the core courses, E&I Track students will also take Introduction to Technological Entrepreneurship<\/a>, led by the E&I Track Chair, Professor Edward Roberts<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Next, during the Sloan Innovation Period in the spring, E&I Track students will participate in the week-long Silicon Valley Study Tour<\/a> with Bill Aulet<\/a> and Colin Kennedy<\/a> from the Martin Trust Center for MIT Entrepreneurship<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Second semester E&I courses include New Enterprises<\/a>, Entrepreneurial Strategy<\/a>, and Strategic Management of Innovation and Entrepreneurship<\/a>.<\/p>\n
