The components I seek in an MBA education align with the core values espoused in the mission statement of the
Sloan School of Management
Academic Excellence

Cross School Collaboration

• I seek an MBA program that
will go beyond fundamentals
and challenge me to think
critically about the most
complex business issues
• Visiting a Sloan class and
speaking with current students
makes me confident that a
Sloan MBA will challenge me
to think in new ways

Career Advancement

• Enrollment in the Sloan School
of Management extends
beyond the business school,
providing me with
opportunities to network with
some of the leading engineers
and technical minds in the

The values promoted through the Sloan

graduate education and will prepare me to
be a socially responsible executive

Sense of Community

• I aspire to obtain a corporate
strategy position with a
leading industrial firm or tech
company

• I believe an MBA should be
more than an education, it
should be a transformative
team experience

• Opportunities like Sloan’s
$100K challenge and Action
Learning Projects will prepare
me to achieve this goal
through real world experience
and tangible executive training

• Having visited Sloan, the sense
of community was very strong
and I hope to be able to
contribute my ideas and
experiences to making the
Sloan community stronger

I believe that earning an MBA from Sloan will fulfill my educational and professional needs while
providing me with a platform to make a positive difference in my community
