Change Your World in an MIT Classroom
What can the Advanced Study Program (ASP) do for you? Place you in an MIT classroom to learn from preeminent faculty with top students from around the world. Engage you in a dynamic learning environment that addresses societal and industry issues. Guide you through critical knowledge about engineering, science, social science, and management fields. Involve you in the forefront of emerging technologies, theories, and practices. Connect you to a community of people committed to advancing new knowledge and leading change in the world.
ASP Fellows range in age from their 20s to 40s or more. Many come from engineering, but also business, finance, economics, mathematics, and other sciences. About one in three have already earned an advanced degree. Others are looking to apply to graduate school in the future or to advance their position in their company.
