MIT Analytics Capstone
Work with MIT Sloan students to solve impactful business challenges during a 7-month experiential project
Now Accepting Project Proposals!
Join us as a corporate host company for 2026.
Since its launch in 2016, the MIT Sloan Master of Business Analytics (MBAn) Program has been ranked #1 globally—and we continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible. Our faculty, staff, and students are driven by a shared commitment to learning, innovation, and real-world impact.
Each year, student teams—paired with a faculty advisor—tackle increasingly complex challenges across industries and functions, applying advanced analytics to solve practical business problems. And year after year, they deliver exceptional results.
As the demand for high-quality analytics accelerates, so does our ambition. We’re not slowing down—and neither is the future we’re helping to shape.
What is the MIT Analytics Capstone?
The MIT Sloan Analytics Capstone Project is a rigorous, 7-month long course where teams of graduate students in the Master of Business Analytics (MBAn) program collaborate with industry partners to solve real-world data science and analytics challenges.
Working under faculty supervision, students apply advanced analytical techniques—including machine learning, optimization, generative AI, statistical modeling, and data visualization—to deliver actionable insights and strategic recommendations.
The projects culminate in a final presentation and deliverable, providing sponsors with innovative, data-driven solutions while giving students valuable experience in real-world engagement and cross-functional teamwork.

Each year, our students present their final products at a Capstone Showcase. This event is a wonderful opportunity to ask questions, meet the sponsors, and hear more about what the Capstone process is like from the people who’ve just been there. We’d love to welcome you in August and introduce you to this incredible opportunity!
