No subject can be counted as part of the 17-subject
GIRs and as part of the 192 units required beyond
the GIRs. Every subject in the student's departmental
program will count toward one or the other, but not both.
*Alternate prerequisites are listed in the subject description.
For an explanation of credit units, or hours, please refer to the Explanatory Notes in Part III of the MIT Bulletin.
