Summer Programs for Professionals
MIT Professional Education—Short Programs offers more than 50 courses in two-to-five day sessions in the summer. These intensive courses are designed to inform busy professionals through in-depth learning with long-term value. Courses combine MIT’s breakthrough research with insights from industry, government, and academic participants. These courses sharpen participants' competitive edge as today’s technologies, industries, and organizations undergo rapid change.
Short Programs attendees come from across the US and around the world. About 25% are international; another 20% come from New England states. Most are mid-career technical, scientific, business, and government professionals in their 20s through 50s who seek new skills for the purposes of a promotion, career advancement, or professional standing.
In addition to receiving a certificate, Short Programs participants can earn Continuing Education Units (CEUs). Units for each course are specified on the course information page and are calculated based on learning contact hours.
