The first year at MIT opens the door to many intellectual, social, and cultural challenges and opportunities. The Office of Undergraduate Advising and Academic Programming (UAAP) will serve as your academic department for your first year here. We offer this website as a guide to support your development during this year of transition. UAAP

Academically, your first year will lay a foundation for later specialization by studies in three areas:

• the Science Core (also available through Learning Communities)
  
• subjects in the Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences
  
• oral and written communication skills.

We post new information on this site multiple times each year, so please bookmark it and visit often for information, news, and reminders.
