<p>i know that m.i.t is known for engineering and what not, but i consistently have been seeing their name on the top business schools list
can anyoen attest to this</p>
<p><em>raises hand</em>?</p>
<p>go on lol im interested in hearing about it</p>
<p>MIT has the Sloan School.. which for Undergrad, along with Wharton are the two most prestigious undergrad business schools in the country. For grad, Sloan ranks up there with Harvard,Wharton,Chicago,Stanford and those constantly as well. MIT is not only an engineering school (its Econ department is#1 as well.)</p>
<p>sick good shiz man</p>
<p>Current MIT students... is it possible to possibly dual major in econ./EECS?</p>
<p>I know for Wharton you have to apply seperately in the Penn application. What about for Sloan? Are you entitled admission to both should you choose a business major?</p>
<p>super6 - at MIT, once your in, you can major in anything you want (i tink.... from reading people's blogs and MIT's website..) and your free to major in Business Admin (Sloan).
Kirbus - Go to the MIT website, and they actually say that one of the most common double majors is Econ/EECS.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>Haha, I didn't notice I said "is it possible to possibly..."</p>
<p>MIT-Sloan is certainly one of the elite business schools, undergraduate or graduate, in the world. </p>
<p>However, I would say that MIT-Sloan is also very much a 'boutique' school. What it does well, it does extremely well. However, there are also some things it does not do well. For example, Sloan is extremely strong, and arguably unbeatable, when it comes to Technology Management, Operations Management, Supply-Chain, Logistics, Manufacturing, Optimization, and the like. Basically, anything having to do with numbers and quantitative analysis, Sloan is extremely strong in. However, it is also true that Sloan is less strong at things like Marketing, General Management, and the like. Overall, Sloan is considered an elite business school. </p>
<p>To digress slightly, I would encourage anybody who wants to get an MBA and has a technical undergraduate background and experience in manufacturing (broadly defined), to consider MIT's LFM program, which is arguably the best program of its type in the world. Basically the LFM program is a joint, 2-year program run out of the MIT, that grants you both an MBA from the Sloan School (or, optionally, a Master's of Science in Management) as well as a Master's of Science in any of the Engineering disciplines at the MIT School of Engineerig. Hence, you are combining what is arguably the best engineering education you can get with one of the best management educations you can get.</p>
