Bachelor of Science Degree Requirements

Notes on Course 22

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.
