Interphase

Interphase is a rigorous seven-week summer residential, academic and community-building program for admitted MIT freshmen that instills subject mastery of calculus, physics and chemistry, and helps them explore their cultural identities through reading, writing and discussion. In addition, students take physical education classes, participate in laboratory research with faculty mentors, and engage in small-group learning activities and workshops designed to develop their analytical thinking and communication skills. These endeavors should position them to thrive during their MIT academic careers. Extra-curricular activities include day trips to area cultural, recreational, and industrial sites. Ample opportunities to begin building social networks and faculty connections are provided. For incoming students of all races and national origins, the program offers a rich, multicultural educational experience that prepares them to become both leaders on campus and in the increasingly diverse global society. Students can earn academic credit upon successful completion of the coursework, giving them a head start towards fulfillment of their graduation requirements.
