Zoom kick-off call: Sep 11, 2025 | First live session from MIT: Sep 25, 2025
u-lab runs fully online.
Your u-lab journey is supported by two online spaces. This program is a partnership between MIT Learn and the u-school for Transformation.
On MIT Learn (formerly MITx Online), you will find all of the course content and be guided through each of the five modules that make up u-lab. If you are pursuing a verified certificate from MIT Learn, this is also where you will track your work.
Here on u-school, you will connect with other participants, engage in dialogue, and access the tools and methods introduced in the course.
The u-lab course and all materials are available at no cost. The option exists to pursue a verified certificate from MIT Learn for a fee of $99. u-lab is part of all u-school for Transformation Certification Pathways. For the certification pathways, a verified certificate from MIT Learn is required.
You can do u-lab in two ways: either fully self-paced at your own rhythm or by following the instructor-led version over an 8-week period, which includes a suggested pace for study and implementation exercises. The instructor-led version features live sessions from MIT interspersed with self-study time.
We’ll kick off with a Zoom call on September 11, 2025, and the live sessions from MIT will run from September 25 to November 20, 2025. After that, you’re welcome to continue the course at your own pace until it officially closes on May 30, 2026.
To participate in this course, you must enroll on both platforms:
- On u-school (by clicking the register button on this page)
- And on MIT Learn
Prerequisites: none.
