MIT Department of Nuclear Science and Engineering
While double majoring is common at MIT, it is most often accomplished through advanced placement and overloads. In the following hypothetical course schedule we have not assumed any advanced placement, so the burden is taken up through overloads. The actual mix is of course determined on a case by case basis. Physics is one of the better fits with NS&E for a double major. One must take three communications intensive courses to obtain a double degree in Physics and Nuclear Science and Engineering.
To obtain a double major, students must complete all the requirements for each degree and an additional 90 credit units beyond the requirements for the first degree. There is great flexibility in these additional courses which therefore are not listed in the schedule below (see the MIT Course Catalogue for more details).
