When navigating to campus, use the address for MIT’s main entrance, 77 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge . We recommend that you take public transportation or a taxi/rideshare service to campus.

Via public transportation

Boston’s public transportation system is the MBTA , known as “the T.”

Subway : Take the Red Line subway to the Kendall/MIT station or to the Central Square station. Kendall/MIT is the closest stop to the campus; the walk from Central Square takes about 10 minutes.

Bus : The #1 bus stops at MIT on Massachusetts Avenue and provides transportation between Harvard Square and Dudley Square (in Boston). The CT1 bus is similar to the #1 bus but has a shorter route and limited stops; it runs along Mass. Ave. from Central Square to Boston Medical Center.

Shuttle : The EZ Ride shuttle runs to and from Boston’s North Station, with stops at Kendall Square and around MIT’s campus (Note: EZRide is not operated by the MBTA; fare is $2 cash per trip).

From Logan Airport

Taxi or rideshare : Taxi fare from the airport is about $35–$40, and a rideshare service can range from about $20–$35. During non-rush hour, the ride will take about 15 minutes; during rush hour, it may take 30 minutes or more.

Subway : From any terminal at Logan Airport, take the Silver Line bus to South Station. At South Station, change to the Red Line subway to Kendall/MIT (inbound toward Alewife). The ride should take about 30 minutes.

Parking in Cambridge and Boston can be expensive and hard to find. Whenever possible, park your car at your hotel and use public transportation [link to public transportation above] or a taxi/rideshare service. If you must drive to the campus, on- and off-street parking is available for a fee, but most public parking is not very close to the center of campus. More parking information is available from Parkopedia .

• Visiting prospective students may park in designated areas on a first-come, first-served basis.

We are part of one of the coolest, most creative, and intellectually vibrant ecosystems on Earth.

Originally founded in Boston, MIT now makes its home in the city of Cambridge, a place the New York Times   says, “blends its erudite character with a rich serving of arts and culture.”

Our campus is situated in Kendall Square , a hub brimming with technology giants, biotechnology firms, and   startups. Ever evolving, the plans to develop our neighborhood are next-level cool.

But we aren’t all engineering and no play. Our campus is a mere 364.4 smoots (plus or minus one ear) across the Charles River to Boston, where foodies can indulge, sports fanatics can cheer, and history buffs can walk the streets of Paul Revere. We are also only a subway ride away from the beach and a short road trip to the Green Mountains or the White Mountains.

The bottom line: this city has something for everyone. We encourage you to come check it out for yourself.

Global Programs

MIT Sloan’s international learning ventures began in the 1930s with student camping tours of industrial Europe. The tours included visits to European manufacturing plants. Arrangements were anything but glamorous; students drove from country to country in a converted bus outfitted with sleeping quarters and a makeshift kitchen.

From these humble beginnings, Global Programs is building on a legacy of global engagement. These efforts help shape research, practice, and perspective of business leaders around the world.

An International Legacy at MIT Sloan

MIT faculty and administration establish Course XV, Engineering Administration, at MIT. Over time, Course XV evolves to become the MIT Sloan School of Management.

In the summer of 1931, Erwin Schell, the new head of Course XV, organizes a series of student camping tours of industrial facilities. These tours give students insight into management practices at various U.S. and European manufacturing plants. The tours are an early forerunner of today’s many study tours, treks, and action learning labs. 

MIT Sloan collaborates with the Soviet Union’s State Committee for Science and Technology. MIT Sloan sends student groups to Moscow to visit businesses and meet with their leadership teams. In exchange, executives from the Soviet Union visit MIT Sloan to take classes as visiting Sloan Fellows.

After completing a tour of sub-Saharan Africa, Carroll Wilson, SB ’32, begins teaching his first class at MIT Sloan, called “Government Policy and Business Decisions.” Wilson polls his class to gauge interest working in Africa, and 12 of his 16 students say that they would participate, if given the opportunity. The program becomes a means to “making the concepts taught at MIT more relevant to the needs of developing countries” and also has “the fellows themselves receiving valuable practical experience.”

MIT Sloan collaborates with representatives from the government of West Bengal and Indian industry to help develop the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) in Calcutta. During the School's formal engagement with the IIM/Calcutta from 1961-1969, nearly 200 Indian students complete long-term study programs, more than 700 Indian managers attend short-term programs, and twenty-five MIT Sloan faculty and two doctoral students visit.

MIT Sloan and Nanyang Technological University in Singapore sign a five-year agreement to collaborate on management education and research. NTU faculty enroll in MIT Sloan programs and the two schools hold joint conferences. With support from MIT Sloan, NTU establishes its business school and a twelve-month Nanyang Fellows Program modeled after the MIT Sloan Fellows program.

The MIT-China Management Education Project is established, with partnerships with Fudan University in Shanghai and Tsinghua University in Beijing. The effort brings Chinese professors to MIT Sloan to work with faculty and take classes so that they can bring new approaches to their own universities.

Global Entrepreneurship Lab (G-Lab) is founded, building on the success of Entrepreneurship Lab (E-Lab) to give students the opportunity to work directly with startups in emerging markets. G-Lab teams go on to work on more than 400 projects in 50 countries around the world.

The Sungkyunkwan University Graduate School of Business in Seoul, South Korea, and MIT Sloan work together to develop a new MBA program. As part of the collaboration, Sungkyunkwan faculty members spend time at MIT Sloan as International Faculty Fellows.

MIT Sloan expands its action learning offerings with the addition of Global Healthcare Delivery Lab, now GlobalHealth Lab, founded to enable students to tackle major healthcare delivery challenges around the world.

MIT Sloan partners with the Sungkyunkwan Graduate School of Business, Tsinghua University, and HEC Paris to establish the Master of Science in Management Studies. The program offers top MBA or master’s degree students from non-U.S. business schools an opportunity to enhance their expertise in a specific management concentration and earn a master’s degree in only two semesters.

MIT Sloan and the Moscow School of Management SKOLKOVO collaborate to establish Russia's first full-time MBA program, which includes classes for SKOLKOVO MBA students in Cambridge and lectures by MIT Sloan faculty in Moscow.

The MIT Executive MBA program is launched. The 20-month program for mid-career executives features weekend classes and periodic one-week modules on campus along with an international project. The Class of 2014 includes more than 100 executives from around the world.

The MIT Regional Entrepreneurship Acceleration Program is a global executive education initiative designed to help regions accelerate economic growth and job creation through innovation-driven entrepreneurship. The program admits eight to ten partner regions annually, each representing a population of three to 10 million people. Each two-year engagement brings together teams representing universities, government, business, capital, and entrepreneurs from emerging economies.

MIT Sloan expands its presence in Latin America by opening the MIT Sloan Latin America Office in Santiago, Chile, the School’s first office outside the United States.

MIT Sloan announces collaboration with Malaysia’s central bank to found the Asia School of Business in Kuala Lumpur. This is the first time MIT Sloan establishes an MBA program from scratch outside of Cambridge. MIT Sloan Professor Charles Fine serves as the founding president and dean.

MIT Research Fieldwork Tour in Vietnam Region

Fieldwork on the booming Hanoi-Hai Phong Development Corridor

The MIT Center for Real Estate’s (MIT/CRE) Asia Real Estate Initiative (AREI) toured Southeast Asia in July 2024, led by Prof. Siqi Zheng, MIT/CRE Faculty Director. The team of MIT/CRE researchers including Wen-Chi Liao, Li Hou, and Xueli Liu visited the booming Hong River region of northern Vietnam from July 14 th  to 19 th , 2024. Under the US-China trade war, Vietnam is one of the most prominent countries benefiting from the global supply-chain reallocations. According to US Census data, Vietnam’s share of US imports more than doubled from 2017 to 2022. Great growth opportunities exist for Vietnam and have led to the dramatic rise of the real estate market and fast urbanization. However, the surging demand for energy and infrastructures challenges the supply, causing a question of whether Vietnam can fulfill sustainable development goals. Delicate geo-political situations may further compromise these goals. 

Fieldwork conducted in Hanoi and Hai Phong this July aimed to deepen understanding of urban planning, regional economics, and spatial science, bolstering MIT’s leading research on the US-China trade dynamics and sustainable urbanization. The team visited EcoPark, a new township on Hanoi’s outskirts; Wistron Vietnam, a high-tech electronics factory in the Dong Van III Industrial Zone; VinUniversity, a private institution established by Vingroup, Vietnam’s largest private conglomerate; and VinFast, a multinational automotive company also founded by Vingroup. Both Wistron Vietnam and VinFast, launched and operational during the pandemic, have thrived due to new highway and port infrastructure and local labor availability, focusing on talent training and supply chain localization. Additionally, the researchers had a productive discussion with US Ambassador Marc Knapper in Vietnam.

During a four-day fieldwork mission in Vietnam, the group established new collaborations between MIT and Vietnamese academic institutions, real estate developers, industrialists, and public sector officials. This study was funded by AREI and was significantly supported by partnerships with Vietnam National University International School, VinUniversity in Hanoi, National University of Singapore, and alumni from MIT and Harvard.

Study abroad combines tourism and tech

When most people think of Vienna, Austria they imagine elegant baroque palaces and a world-class opera and symphony, not a European Tech hub. The tension between old and new inspired Professor Rob Pettit, associate chair of the Computer Science Department at George Mason University, to lead a pioneering study-abroad program there in the summer of 2024.

Designed for undergraduate computer science students, this initiative is among the nation’s first faculty-led, study-abroad opportunities specific to computer science. "Studying abroad is not just about combining academics with travel," said Pettit. "It's a transformative experience that expands horizons, fosters cultural understanding and builds a global perspective. Given today's interconnected world, studying abroad equips students with unique skills and insights, preparing them to navigate and contribute to a diverse and dynamic global community."

Pettit and the students lived as locals in Vienna's dynamic 6th district for this six-week immersive program. Students attended classes at the renowned Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien), consistently ranked in the world's top 100 computer science universities. There, Pettit held lectures for CS 321 Software Engineering in which students gained hands-on experience with team-based agile software development practices in preparation for their transition to industry.

“CS 321 is a project-based course and part of the required curriculum for the BS CS and BS ACS degrees at George Mason,” said Petit. “For their projects, students were required to incorporate elements of their study-abroad experience into a deliverable software application.”

In addition to CS 321, students earned credit for CS 399 Exploration of the Global Software Engineering Industry. Together, this combination provided six credits of coursework directly applicable to the computer science major.

Organized excursions and industry interactions enhanced the students' cultural and historical understanding. Highlights from the program's first half included visits to the Hofburg Imperial Palace, Vienna's Technical Museum, and the Belvedere Palace's art galleries and gardens. The undergraduates also traveled to nearby Melk Abbey, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

For the industry experience, TTTech corporation hosted students at its Vienna location and included presentations on high-reliability software. Beyond site visits, the group also shared community meals where they experienced traditional Austrian, Hungarian, and Turkish cuisine while building stronger bonds within the group.

Additional excursions included visits to Schönbrunn Palace—the stunning Baroque summer palace of the Hapsburgs—and day trips to Bratislava, Slovakia, and Sopron, Hungary. The students explored and traveled to locations in Croatia, Germany, and Italy during their free weekends.
