麻省理工学院是“海湾州”所拥有的120多所高等教育机构之一。
17世纪40年代，马萨诸塞湾殖民地（Massachusetts Bay Colony）通过了三部法律，从根本上改变了美国的教育体系。这些立法被称为《马萨诸塞州学校法》（Massachusetts School Laws），为义务公共教育奠定了基础，并为这个“海湾州”（Bay State）开启了教育史上的多个第一，包括首个公立小学（梅瑟学校，Mather School）、中学（波士顿拉丁学校，Boston Latin School）、寄宿学校（伽文纳中学,The Governor's Academy）和大学（哈佛大学, Harvard University）。
马萨诸塞州通过设在麻省理工学院（Massachusetts Institute of Technology）的斯塔塔夫妇中心（Ray and Maria Stata Center,如上图所示)等机构，继续引领教育潮流。该中心设有麻省理工学院的计算机科学与人工智能实验室（Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory）、信息与决策系统实验室(Laboratory for Information and Decision System）和语言学与哲学系(Department of Linguistics and Philosophy)。
该校估计其校友已创建了超过25,600家公司。这些企业家雇用了330万人并创造了近2万亿美元的收入 ——足以使这个群体成为世界第11大经济体。但麻省理工学院很乐意分享这份财富。该大学率先通过网上课件（Online coursework)为全球学生提供受教育的机会。

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology is just one of more than 120 higher education institutions in the Bay State.
In the 1640s, the Massachusetts Bay Colony passed three laws that fundamentally changed the education system in the United States. Known as the Massachusetts School Laws, these legislative acts laid the foundation for mandatory public education and ushered in an era of educational firsts for the Bay State including the first public primary school (The Mather School), secondary school (Boston Latin School), boarding school (The Governor’s Academy) and college (Harvard University).
Massachusetts continues to set educational trends through institutions like the Ray and Maria Stata Center at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), pictured above. The center houses MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, the Laboratory for Information and Decision Systems and the Department of Linguistics and Philosophy.
The school estimates its alumni have founded more than 25,600 companies. These entrepreneurs employ 3.3 million people and generate nearly $2 trillion in revenue — enough to make this group the world’s 11th largest economy. But MIT is happy to share the wealth. The university leads the way in offering a global audience access to education through online coursework.
