This article is about the management program for business leaders. For the fellowship for early-career scientists, see Sloan Fellowship.

The Sloan Fellows program is a mid-career master's degree in general management and leadership initially supported by a grant from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation taking place at one of three business schools: the MIT Sloan School of Management, the Stanford Graduate School of Business, and the London Business School (LBS). It targets experienced managers who have demonstrated success either within organizations or independently as entrepreneurs.

History

The Sloan Fellows Program was created at the MIT Sloan School of Management in 1930, by Alfred P. Sloan, Chairman of General Motors from 1937 to 1956, who envisioned the Sloan Fellowship as a means of developing the "ideal manager". The Sloan Fellows Program is the first management and leadership education program for executives and mid-career experienced managers.

In the following decades, the program was expanded to include the Sloan Master's at Stanford Graduate School of Business[1] (1957[2]) and the Sloan Master's at London Business School[3] (1968 [4]). In 2013 Stanford changed the name of its Sloan Fellows Program to Stanford MSx (Master of Science in Management for Experienced Leaders), though participants in the program remain Stanford Sloan Fellows.[5]

Academics

Sloan Fellows comprise a mix of company- and self-sponsored candidates. On all three schools, a significant degree of experience is required for admission. This is in keeping with Alfred P. Sloan's conviction that experienced managers would benefit best from the program. Alumni describe the program as "transformational", in keeping with the original vision of preparing successful managers for senior business leadership positions.

Unlike most Executive MBA programs which are part-time over a year and a half to three years, the Sloan Fellows program runs full-time over the course of 12–14 months, depending on electives. London Business School and MIT Sloan offer an optional research project/thesis.[6][7][8]

The program recognizes the importance of developing leadership as well as management competency in Sloan Fellows. As such, in addition to the standard MBA curriculum of management courses, the Sloan program contains a strong personal-development component designed to develop the leadership and strategic thinking capabilities of Sloan Fellows.

Traditional full-time MBA programs comparison

The Sloan Fellows program is a mix of top Executive MBA programs (experienced professionals) and top full-time MBA programs (full-time, academic rigor). The table below shows the main differences between the Sloan Fellows program and the traditional top MBA programs.
