MIT students have always set out to change the world. With Practicing Management, MIT Sloan students start changing the world while they're here.
MIT is about learning by doing, and the hallmark of an MIT Sloan education is its pairing of state-of-the-art theory and tools with opportunities to put ideas into action.
With Praxis@MIT Sloan, we're taking this tradition a step further by enhancing students' experiences and interactions with real-world challenges. MIT Sloan students learn by doing via workshop-style seminars, coaching, and innovative new courses (15.990 - Prepare, act, reflect: Lab for getting things done).
In a new, flexible seminar series open to all, students learn a variety of tools and approaches for developing their skills in getting things done. Personal and team coaching offers students feedback that is linked to both the academic and experiential sides of their education. And in new courses designed to build their own effectiveness, we help students to connect research and theory with their own actions in real-world projects and to use the classroom as a setting for learning from others and reflecting on experience.
