A course is a course, of course, except when it is a subject. At MIT course numbers and abbreviations refer to courses of study leading to specific academic degrees and, by extension, to the departments or programs offering those degrees. For example, Course 6 refers to the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.
The General Institute Requirements include a Communication Requirement that is integrated into both the HASS Requirement and the requirements of each major; see details below. Summary of Subject Requirements. Subjects. Science Requirement. 6.
The units for any subject that counts as one of the 17 GIR subjects cannot also be counted as units required beyond the GIRs.

IAP is MIT’s Independent Activities Period, which takes place in January. #-#-# units or Units arranged. Credit units (hours) indicate the total amount of time spent in class and laboratory, plus the estimated time that the average student spends on outside preparation, for one regular term subject.
The name of the instructor (s) or department contact appears in italics at the end of the subject description .
The subject name consists of its number and title.
At MIT, we revel in a culture of learning by doing. In 30 departments across five schools and one college, our students combine analytical rigor with curiosity, playful imagination, and an appetite for solving the hardest problems in service to society.
Some are online. Some are on campus. Ranging from two days to 20 months, they all share MIT’s signature focus on practical solutions for the real world.
Because we like to make things, and we like to make an impact, iconic courses like 2.009 emphasize designing, invent ing, collaborating, and translating students’ expertise to reach the world. Through signature experiential learning programs like UROP, UPOP , MISTI, PKG, IAP, D-Lab, and Sandbox, students can pursue virtually infinite co-curricular and extracurricular projects — here at MIT, throughout the Greater Boston innovation hub, and around the world. Honeycombed with legendary laboratories and dozens of makerspaces, a wind tunnel, a research nuclear reactor, and a glass lab, our campus of idiosyncratically numbered buildings adds up to a prime spot to make the most of your potential.
MITx, the Institute’s portfolio of massively open online courses, offers flexible access to a range of interactive courses developed and taught by instructors from MIT.
The MIT Schwarzman College of Computing, opened in fall 2019, is a cross-cutting entity with education and research links across all five schools.
Please go to the MIT Admissions website for all questions regarding undergraduate admissions. You may also schedule campus visits and tours there. Also: Read the student blogs! Apply!
As undergraduate seniors, students may apply for admission to the department’s doctoral program. Contact the EECS Graduate Office with questions at [email protected] .
When you apply to MIT, you apply to the entire university, not to a specific major or school, so all first-year students begin MIT undeclared.
We also have the Schwarzman College of Computing that coordinates computing education, research, and infrastructure across the schools.
