Developed in response to industry requests, this option enables companies to sponsor internship and thesis research conducted by self-funded SDM Fellows. Support typically involves identifying an internship project or thesis topic of pressing concern to the organization and naming a company mentor to work with an SDM Fellow and MIT faculty member to address the challenge.
Thesis sponsorship allows a company to expand its presence within SDM at a modest cost, work with an SDM Fellow and MIT expert on a relevant project, and favorably position the organization to recruit self-funded SDM students.
