Admission to the MIT CDO ProgramRolling Admission for Current MIT Graduate StudentsThe CDO Program will accept applications on a rolling basis from current MIT graduate students who wish to pursue the CDO Master's degree concurrent with their existing degree program. Students must be enrolled in a departmental S.M. or Ph.D. degree-granting program to be considered for admission on a rolling basis. Students Pursuing Dual MIT Degrees
Dual SM DegreesStudents who are pursuing the CDO Master's degree concurrent with another MIT Master's program will need to satisfy the course requirements for both degree programs. These students must complete (in addition to thesis units) at least 132 subject units. In principle, the same Master's thesis can be used to satisfy both degrees, provided the thesis topic is approved by the CDO Steering Committee and by the MIT Department granting the other Master's degree. In those cases where the thesis advisor is not a CDO-affiliated faculty member, there should be a CDO-affiliated faculty member who acts as a thesis reader. Dual SM/PhD DegreesStudents who are pursuing the CDO Master of Science degree concurrent with an MIT PhD program will need to satisfy the course requirements for both degree programs. A separate thesis for each program is required to satisfy the CDO Master's and PhD program requirements. In those cases where the CDO Master's thesis advisor is not a CDO affiliated faculty member, there should be a CDO affiliated faculty member who acts as a thesis reader. For February admission (spring term) to the CDO Master's program, applications are accepted on a rolling basis from September to the end of December. For September admission (fall term) to the CDO Master's program, applications are accepted on a rolling basis from January to the end of April. MIT graduate students who are interested in applying to the CDO Master's program should complete and submit the special application, available for download here.

The Institute does not discriminate against individuals on the basis of race, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, disability, age, veteran status, ancestry, or national or ethnic origin in the administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, employment policies, scholarship and loan programs, and other Institute administered programs and activities, but may favor US citizens or residents in admissions and financial aid.* The Vice President for Human Resources is designated as the Institute's Equal Opportunity Officer and Title IX Coordinator. Inquiries concerning the Institute's policies, compliance with applicable laws, statutes, and regulations (such as Title VI, Title IX, and Section 504), and complaints may be directed to the Vice President for Human Resources, Room E19-215, 617-253-6512, or to the Coordinator of Staff Diversity Initiatives/Affirmative Action, Room E19-215, 617-253-1594.

Inquiries about the laws and about compliance may also be directed to the Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights, US Department of Education. *The ROTC programs at MIT are operated under Department of Defense (DOD) policies and regulations, and do not comply fully with MIT's policy of nondiscrimination with regard to sexual orientation. MIT continues to advocate for a change in DOD policies and regulations concerning sexual orientation, and will replace scholarships of students who lose ROTC financial aid because of these DOD policies and regulations.
