Which MBA candidates should choose the MIT Sloan Fellows MBA over a traditional two-year MBA or executive MBA program?
In Episode 122 of The mbaMission Podcast, mbaMission Senior Consultant Harold Simansky speaks with Ricardo Heredia, a biotech scientist, life sciences investor, and recent MIT Sloan Fellows MBA graduate. Ricardo explains how the immersive, 12-month program helped him connect his scientific and pharmaceutical experience with finance, entrepreneurship, and life sciences investing.
The discussion delves into the program’s customizable curriculum, experienced global cohort, accessible faculty, and opportunities to study throughout MIT and even beyond the school. Ricardo also highlights an important trade-off that applicants should not ignore: Although the accelerated structure offers extraordinary access, it allows less time to explore one’s career options. As a result, candidates should enter the program with a strong sense of what they want to learn, which communities they want to join, and how the degree will support their next decade or more of work.
