Departmental Program Units That Also Satisfy the GIRs
(48)
Unrestricted Electives
48
Total Units Beyond the GIRs Required for SB Degree
180
No subject can be counted both as part of the 17-subject GIRs and as part of the 180 units required beyond the GIRs. Every subject in the student's departmental program will count toward one or the other, but not both.
Notes
*Alternate prerequisites and corequisites are listed in the subject description. 
† Students who entered prior to fall 2010 may use this subject to satisfy the HASS-D requirement.
(1) Any of the subjects that fulfill the Institute Chemistry Requirement is satisfactory, though 5.111 or 5.112 is recommended.
(2) Students are encouraged to take both 1.00 and 1.010, in which case one may be counted as a restricted elective.
