Incorporated in the year 1861, Massachusetts Institute of Technology is a private research institute located in Cambridge, Massachusetts. In 1865, four years after the approval of its founding charter, the Institute admitted its first student and shortly thereafter in 1871, admitted its first woman student. MIT's opening marked the foundation of a new kind of independent educational institution by coupling teaching and research with a primary focus on solving real-world problems. There are 30 departments across 5 schools in MIT, pioneering new ways of learning on the campus. With more than 1,000 Faculty members, MIT continues to play a vital role in shaping the future of undergraduate and graduate students as advisors, mentors, coaches, committee members and much more.
