• Students may use 18.443 as a substitution for 15.075, provided it is taken at MIT rather than by transfer credit.

Sloan Bidding

Students must pre-register and bid for every Sloan graduate subject they wish to take the following term. Students will no longer bid for Sloan undergraduate subjects (those designated as “U” in the MIT Subject Listing and Schedule). There is one exception. Students must bid for 15.412, Finance Theory II, even though 15.412 is an undergraduate subject.

Students enrolled in the Minor in Management will be given Sloan student priority for Sloan graduate subjects on the list of recommended electives above.

For additional information about the bidding process, visit the Sloan Bidding site.

* 15.354 will not be offered in Spring 2013. Instead, students may substitute 15.900 (Competitive Strategy, 6 units, H1) and either 15.910 (Innovation Strategy, 6 units, H2) or 15.911 (Entrepreneurial Strategy, 6 units, H2). All three classes will be open to undergraduates in Spring 2013.
