'{{about|the management program for business leaders|the fellowship for early-career scientists|Sloan Research Fellowship}} The '''Sloan Fellows''' program is the world's first mid-career [[master's degree]] in [[general management]] and [[leadership]] initially supported by a grant from [[Alfred P. Sloan]], the late CEO of [[General Motors]], to his alma mater, [[MIT]]. The program was established in 1930. later, it was expanded to other leading two business schools of the [[Stanford Graduate School of Business]], and the [[London Business School]]&nbsp;(LBS). Considered to be the most prestigious management training program, it targets experienced managers who have demonstrated success either within organizations or independently as [[entrepreneur]]s. ==History== The Sloan Fellows Program was created at the [[MIT Sloan School of Management]] in 1930, by [[Alfred P. Sloan]], Chairman of [[General Motors]] from 1937 to 1956, who envisioned the Sloan Fellowship as a means of developing the "ideal manager". The Sloan Fellows Program is the world's first management and leadership education program for mid-career experienced managers. In the following decades, the program was expanded to include the Sloan Master's at [[Stanford Graduate School of Business]]<ref>{{cite web|last=Stanford Graduate School of Business|title=Stanford Sloan Master's Program|url=http://www.gsb.stanford.edu/sloan/|publisher=Stanford University|accessdate=9 August 2012}}</ref> (1957<ref>{{cite web|last=Stanford GSB|title=The Sloan Program at 50|url=http://www.gsb.stanford.edu/news/bmag/sbsm0708/feature-sloan.html|publisher=Stanford GSB|accessdate=2 January 2013}}</ref>) and the Sloan Master's at [[London Business School]]<ref>{{cite web|last=London Business School|title=Sloan Masters in Leadership and Strategy|url=http://www.london.edu/programmes/sloanmastersinleadershipandstrategy.html|publisher=London Business School|accessdate=9 August 2012}}</ref> (1968 <ref>{{cite web|last=London Business School|title=Sloan 40th anniversary|url=http://www.london.edu/programmes/sloanmastersinleadershipandstrategy/sloan40.html?WT.mc_id=1863|publisher=London Business School|accessdate=2 January 2013}}</ref>). In 2013 Stanford changed the name of its Sloan Fellows Program to Stanford MSx (Master of Science in Management for Experienced Leaders), though participants in the program remain Stanford Sloan Fellows.<ref>Stanford renames Sloan Master's Program - http://www.gsb.stanford.edu/news/headlines/redesigned-sloan-masters-curriculum-named-stanford-msx-program-experienced-leaders</ref> ==Academics== Sloan Fellows comprise a mix of company- and self-sponsored candidates. On all three schools, a significant degree of experience is required for admission. This is in keeping with Alfred P. Sloan's conviction that experienced managers would benefit best from the program. Alumni describe the program as "transformational", in keeping with the original vision of preparing successful managers for senior business leadership positions and increasingly, successful enterprise ventures. The Sloan Fellows program runs full-time over the course of 12–14 months, depending on electives. [[London Business School]] and [[MIT Sloan School of Management|MIT&nbsp;Sloan]] offer an optional research project/thesis.<ref>[http://mitsloan.mit.edu/fellows/calendar-fulltime.php ] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100620131409/http://mitsloan.mit.edu/fellows/calendar-fulltime.php |date=June 20, 2010 }}</ref><ref>[http://www.gsb.stanford.edu/sloan/ International Study Trip]</ref><ref>[http://www.london.edu/sloanfellowship/Programme%20details.html ] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070622050804/http://www.london.edu/sloanfellowship/Programme%20details.html |date=June 22, 2007 }}</ref> The program recognizes the importance of developing leadership as well as management competency in Sloan Fellows. As such, in addition to the standard MBA curriculum of management courses, the Sloan program contains a strong [[personal development|personal-development]] component designed to develop the leadership and strategic thinking capabilities of Sloan Fellows. The London Business School Sloan Masters is a specialised programme emphasising Strategy, Leadership and an intensive personal development provision. ==Admission== Admission to [[Sloan Fellow]] Program is highly selective and goes through several steps of selection. In [[MIT Sloan School of Management]], the prospective applicant needs to first register interest in the program website and upload resume. After initial screening, a member of the admission committee calls the screened registered applicant for 30 minutes discussion. Number of screened and interviewed by telephone prospective applicants will be invited to visit the program in [[Cambridge]], [[Massachusetts]] for class visit, sit with current students and meet the program officers. After this stage, the applicant to submit a formal application. The received applications are again screened and the selected files will be moved to the interview stage. The invited candidates will have to participate in a formal admission interview, usually held in MIT Sloan campus, or globally in selected places. Following the interview, the decisions letters of admission or rejection will be sent to the applicants. this process is repeated three times for three rounds of application deadlines. Following a successful shortlisting after applying, London Business School Sloan Fellows will have a personal interview with an alumnus or LBS representative. There are four deadlines across the cycle. LBS offers preliminary discussions, CV reviews and class visits to support Sloan candidates’ research. ==Traditional full-time MBA programs comparison== The table below shows the main differences between the Sloan Fellows program and the traditional top MBA programs. {| class="wikitable" |- ! !!
