Who should apply to the
MLOG program?
The MLOG is designed for students who have several
years of work experience, good quantitative skills, and who have
already taken some college-level calculus, economics, and probability
/statistics. If you have questions about whether you would be a
good candidate for the MLOG program, please contact us directly.

Is the MLOG offered
as a distance learning program?
No. MIT's nine-month MLOG degree is a campus-based,
full-time, weekday program. There are no immediate plans to offer
this degree via the Internet, part-time, or as an executive degree
program. Some projects, however, involve Internet-based collaboration
with international colleagues. The Center does offer a one-week
intensive Logistics and Supply Chain Management course every summer.

How much does the MLOG
program cost?
MLOG tuition is set by MIT each year. The
tuition for the 2008/2009 academic year is $46,784 plus student life fee,
medical insurance, and living expenses. Living expenses vary,
depending on your living style and whether students live alone,
with roommates, or have a family. The cost of living in Boston
and Cambridge is higher than in much of the country. Currently,
a budget of $1700 per month is recommended for single students. We reccommend speaking to current students for more information.

Is there any financial
help available for MLOG students?
While MLOG is designed as a self-funded program,
the Center for Transportation and Logistics does offer a limited
number of merit-based fellowships. To indicate your interest
in CTL fellowships, please check the “Fellowship” box
provided on the Financial Statement Form within the MIT Graduate
Application.
MLOG students are also eligible for
grants and fellowships offered by the larger MIT community. These can be found at the Student Financial Services website.
Because of the intensive courseload, MLOG students are not eligible
for research or teaching assistantships. Many domestic students
depend on federal student loans - and international students seek
out student loans from private lenders, such as local banks. MIT's
Student Financial
Services Office is the best resource for determining how best
to fund your MIT education.
