MIT

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology has an excellent global reputation for high-quality research and faculty members, producing more than 70 Nobel laureates during the previous 150 years. On its 138-acre campus in Boston, the institution has over 11,000 staff members, nearly 2,000 of whom are teaching personnel, and 11,300 students. During the previous academic year, there were 2,600 international students on campus.

Along with science, humanities, and business courses, a wide range of engineering courses are given, ranging from mechanical and materials engineering to aeronautics and nuclear physics. According to MIT, research is its "soul" - this is where the Apollo space program's navigation system was created, penicillin was chemically synthesized for the first time, and computer memory was conceived.

MIT is also the driving force behind one of the most successful online engineering and technology schools on the internet. Edx provides MOOCs (Massively Online Open Courses) as a feasible option for anyone interested in sampling the Institute's teaching.
