G-Lab vs. China/India Lab - MITSloan

I am writing this for the benefit of future SDM cohort who plans to take one of the Action-Based Learning course at Sloan.


G-Lab: Students work in a team of 3-4 students with a start-up company, culminating in an on-site 2 or 3 week internship. These companies are generally small and entrepreneurial. Onsite internship is during the IAP for 3 weeks at locations in Asia, New Zealand, South America and the Middle East.

China/India Lab: The partner companies could be startups or large enterprises. Example: Reuters Corning etc. In China Lab, two MIT students work on a team with two Chinese students.  In India Lab, teams consist of four MIT students.  The onsite is over SIP and spring break.  The China/India Lab teaching staff hold an information session in October and details the application process.  The application process consists of writing a few essays and then an interview.
