Schools, Departments & the College

Across MIT, faculty help set the global standard of excellence in their
disciplines: They are pioneering scholars who love to teach. Deeply engaged
in practice, they topple conventional walls between fields in the push for
deeper understanding and fresh ideas. In fact, many faculty actively work in at
least one of MIT’s interdisciplinary labs, centers, initiatives, and institutes that
target crucial challenges, from clean energy to cancer.
The MIT Schwarzman College of Computing, opened in fall 2019, is a cross-
cutting entity with education and research links

Teaching & Learning

Our campus is a workshop for inventing the future and we are all apprentices,
learning from each other as we go. Because we like to make things, and we
like to make an impact, iconic courses like 2.009 emphasize designing,
inventing, collaborating, and translating students’ expertise to reach the world.
Through signature experiential learning programs
like UROP, UPOP, MISTI, PKG, IAP, D-Lab, and Sandbox, students can
pursue virtually infinite co-curricular and extracurricular projects — here at
MIT, throughout the Greater Boston innovation hub, and around the world.
Honeycombed with legendary laboratories and dozens of makerspaces, a
wind tunnel, a research nuclear reactor, and a glass lab, our campus of
idiosyncratically numbered buildings adds up to a prime spot to make the
most of your potential.

Open Learning
MIT is pioneering new ways of teaching and learning, on our campus and
around the world, by inventing and leveraging digital technologies. MITx, the
Institute’s portfolio of massively open online courses, offers flexible access to
a range of interactive courses developed and taught by instructors from MIT.
Another MIT innovation — the MicroMasters credential — is increasingly
recognized by industry leaders hiring new talent. And MIT’s original digital
learning option, OpenCourseWare, continues to offer teachers and learners
worldwide the materials for more than 2,450 MIT courses, freely available
online.

Professional & Executive Education

For executives, managers, entrepreneurs, and technical professionals eager
to tap fresh thinking and new research from MIT, we offer dozens of executive
and professional programs. Some are online. Some are on campus. Ranging
from two days to 20 months, they all share MIT’s signature focus on practical
solutions for the real world.

MIT people are eager to know how things

work — and inspired to make them work
better. Our “mind and hand” philosophy
spurs real-world engagement, and thanks
to MIT’s entrepreneurial culture, Greater
Boston’s innovation ecosystem brims with
companies spun out from MIT. We also
embrace collaborations with industry and
government, as we seek compelling
problems where MIT innovation can make
an impact.
MIT’s student and faculty entrepreneurs can tap a remarkable suite of
programs — from the MIT Innovation Initiative to the $100K Entrepreneurship
Competition — as they learn to drive their ideas to market. From two-person
faculty start-ups to global corporations, businesses and nonprofits of every
size can find satisfying ways to work with MIT. A range of professional groups
stand ready to help, from our Martin Trust Center for MIT Entrepreneurship to
the distinctive Industrial Liaison Program.

Impact
Innovations from MIT often address the problems humanity most needs to
solve, including sustainable energy, urban resiliency, fresh water, food for all,
cancer, Alzheimer’s, and infectious disease. By helping MIT inventors connect
with mentors, collaborators, networks, and funding, we help them translate
new science into transformative innovation. MIT entrepreneurs make a sizable
 global impact: The active companies formed by living MIT alumni produce
estimated annual revenues on par with the gross domestic product of
the 10th-largest economy in the world. 

Mission
The mission of MIT is to advance knowledge and educate students in science,
technology, and other areas of scholarship that will best serve the nation and
the world in the 21st century.
The Institute is committed to generating, disseminating, and preserving
knowledge, and to working with others to bring this knowledge to bear on the
world’s great challenges. MIT is dedicated to providing its students with an
education that combines rigorous academic study and the excitement of
discovery with the support and intellectual stimulation of a diverse campus
community. We seek to develop in each member of the MIT community the
ability and passion to work wisely, creatively, and effectively for the betterment
of humankind.

Oxford universty
QS Quacquarelli Symonds is the world’s leading provider of services, analytics, and
insight to the global higher education sector, whose mission is to enable motivated
people anywhere in the world to fulfil their potential through educational achievement,
international mobility, and career development.  

The QS World University Rankings portfolio, inaugurated in 2004, has grown to become

the world’s most popular source of comparative data about university performance.
Their flagship website, www.TopUniversities.com – the home of their rankings – was
viewed 149 million times in 2019, and over 94,000 media clippings pertaining to, or
mentioning, QS were published by media outlets across the world in 2019. 

Beyond QS’s publication of the world’s market-leading university rankings portfolio, QS

also compile the QS international Student Survey – the world’s largest survey of the
sentiments, motivations, and preferences of prospective international students. Their
student-facing event series – The QS World Grad School Tour, QS World MBA Tour,
and QS World University Tour – gave 225,000 prospective students the chance to meet
admissions directors at some of the world’s top universities, across 348 events
worldwide.  

Throughout the COVID-19 outbreak, QS has transitioned their event offerings online,

ensuring that institutions across the world are still able to connect with talent across the
globe. QS’s response to the pandemic has also included the development of a series of
digital marketing resources for institutions - similarly designed to facilitate continued
high-quality engagement with potential students – and the launch of a webinar series
empowering university faculty and administrators to share best practices and
collaborate as they move their educational offerings into the virtual classroom. 

The QS Intelligence Unit – QS’s research and professional services division – provides
universities across the world with bespoke comparative performance analysis according
to metrics central to each institution’s mission: teaching, research impact, reputational
standing, student employability, and internationalization. 

They also oversee QS’s international conferences for higher education leaders: these
include: 

 Reimagine Education – the world’s leading award program and conference for
teaching and learning innovation; 
 EduData Summit - a space uniting the world’s leading practitioners at the
intersection of data and education ; 
 QS APPLE – Asia’s foremost convention for higher education leaders; 
 A range of subject-focused summits held with QS’s partner universities.  
In 2019, as part of their commitment to sustainability, QS became a certified
CarbonNeutral® Company, reflecting their efforts to reduce its impact on the
environment through a range of efficiency initiatives and offsetting unavoidable
emissions through a verified carbon offset forestry project in Brazil. 

The QS Global 250 Business Schools Report 2017 shines a light on two core
missions of all business schools:
1) to produce highly employable graduates and;

2) to produce thought-leading research for the benefit of individual students

and the global economy.

New to the 2017 edition of a report produced by QS since 1995 are the QS
Magic MBA Quadrants. Using data taken from 12,125 actively hiring
international MBA recruiters and 8,376 academics, full-time MBA programs
are positioned in one of four quadrants based on their strength in
employability and research excellence. Those quadrants are:

Global Elite: Top-rated for both employability and research excellence

Top-Tier Employability: Top-rated for employability only
Top-Tier Research: Top-rated for research excellence only
Superior: Above our threshold level for both employability and research
excellence
