Hi all,
I’d really appreciate your input as I make a final decision between two MBA offers — MIT Sloan Fellows MBA and the Kellogg One-Year MBA.
Quick background:
I have 11+ years of experience, with the last 9 in Big Tech across Strategy & Operations roles. Post-MBA, I intend to stay in Tech and return to a similar Strategy & Ops role in the U.S.
Here’s a snapshot of both programs:
⸻
MIT Sloan Fellows MBA
1. Designed for mid-to-senior professionals (~12–25 years experience)
2. Diverse cohort (40+ nationalities, ~100 students)
3. Less integrated with the regular MBA program
4. ~30–40% stay and recruit in the U.S. (largely self-driven)
5. ~$40K more expensive
6. Degree awarded is a full MBA (not EMBA)
Kellogg One-Year MBA
1. Traditional MBA format; cohort is younger — I’d be on the more experienced end
2. Strong focus on Strategy; aligns well with my career path
3. Flagship course and closely integrated with the larger MBA community
4. I’ve visited the campus and loved the experience
⸻
What I’m weighing now:
1. In the U.S., Sloan and Kellogg seem similarly respected for business roles, some even say Kellogg has the edge in Strategy.
But, internationally does MIT carry stronger brand prestige - especially for strategy/leadership roles?
2. Also, how is the Sloan Fellows MBA perceived outside the MIT community? Does it ever get mistaken for an Executive MBA?
What would you do if you were in my shoes?
Would love to hear from those who’ve been through similar decisions or know how these programs are perceived — in the U.S. and globally. Any perspective on brand, alumni access, post-MBA opportunities, overall experience or peer network would be incredibly helpful.
Thanks so much in advance!
