The Lean Enterprise short program, taught each summer on campus, has historically drawn strong international participation — but when the MIT Professional Education program was offered in Chile in October, interest exploded. The 60 spots were quickly booked and overflow names filled a waiting list.

“It is an institutional priority to reach out and to connect with not only with more people abroad but also more universities, institutions and industry at large,” says Bhaskar Pant, executive director of MIT Professional Education.
