The admissions process for graduate programs at MIT is decentralized.
Thus, applicants apply directly to the academic department,
or degree-granting program of interest.
The Admissions Office provides central administrative support
to departments and degree-granting programs. View their web
site for complete details on graduate
admissions, including information on the application process,
degree requirements, and how to order a course catalogue.
MIT’s
course catalogue, available in print and online, provides
a comprehensive description of undergraduate and graduate
programs as well as a full listing of subject descriptions.
Registration is the process of establishing official student
status at the Institute after acceptance to a graduate program.
Any person who uses the Institute's facilities (including
housing) and educational resources and/or is actively working
toward satisfying the requirements for a degree must register.
Individuals on campus who are not registered during a term
are not considered students and do not have student privileges.
