15-1 Management Course Roadmap

This roadmap should be viewed as one plan for structuring your schedule. There is a lot of flexibility when you take Course 15 classes. Even if you think it is too late to declare Course 15, email: ugeducation@sloan.mit.edu or come see us in E52-150 (Suite 133).
Subjects that fulfill both Course 15-1 and GIR requirements are bold.

Notes:
¹Contact the MIT Sloan Undergrad Office for alternative options for the Probability & Statistics requirement. Please note, the course or courses MUST cover both Probability and Statistics in depth similar to 15.069. Course 15/6 and 15/14 double majors can petition Course 6/Course 14 to count 15.069 as a substitute for 14.30 or 18.05.

²Students who choose to take 15.312 need an Institute LAB. The Course 15 choices are: 15.076 (may count as a Concentration Elective); 15.417 (counts as a Restricted Elective); or 15.418 (may count as a Concentration Elective). The Institute LAB can also be fulfilled with a non-Course 15 Institute LAB.

³For sample 15-1 Concentrations and more information, see the Concentration Guide.

⁴14.01 is a HASS subject. 15.0111 is not a HASS subject. If students take 15.0111, the 9 units will count toward the 180 units beyond GIRs and students will need to take another HASS subject.

⁵Please note that students can use no more than one subject in their department to fulfill the REST requirement. Depending on the subject and concentration, the second REST subject may count as a Concentration Elective.

⁶57-72 additional units will be needed to accrue the 180 units beyond GIRs.

⁷See ‘Choosing Between Alternate Versions of Subjects’ below for advice on course selection.

Choosing Between Alternate Versions of Subjects

Communications: 15.276 has a focus on presenting quantitative information to non-quantitative people in a business setting. 15.279 focuses on communicating in a broader range of business situations. Both 15.276 and 15.279 have small class sizes with lots of opportunities for practicing planned and impromptu presentations.

People, Teams, and Organizations / Organizational Processes: 15.301 and 15.312 are similar in content and deliverables to a HASS course. 15.301 and 15.312 are separate courses though there is significant overlap in content between them. Also, although 15.301 is 15 units and 15.312 is 12 units, the amount of work is similar. Students who take 15.312 will need an alternate Institute LAB.

15-1 Restricted Electives: The 15-1 Restricted Electives for the Management major are considered the foundations for deeper study in the concentrations. Restricted electives should help to inform students of which concentration they would be most interested in completing and how they should organize their subject choices within the concentration.

15-1 Concentration Electives: Students are given a lot of flexibility in determining their concentration and the classes that will count toward the concentration. Some concentration electives can also be double counted towards other majors/minors or HASS requirement. The Undergraduate Office and your advisor are good resources for planning your concentration electives depending on your professional and skill acquisition goals. See the 15-1 Concentration Guide.

Microeconomics: 14.01 counts as a HASS subject and is a prerequisite for higher level Course 14 courses. 15.0111 is a great option for those looking for a focus on using microeconomic principles in business decision making and/or are not looking to do advanced work in Economics.

Probability & Statistics: We anticipate that the majority of Course 15 students will take 15.069, as it involves how to apply probability and statistics in different business areas/situations. 14.30 is an  alternative for Course 14/15 and 6-14/15 double majors. 18.05 is an alternative for Course 6 and 18 majors. Contact the Sloan Undergrad Office for alternative options for the Probability & Statistics requirement. Please note, the course or courses MUST cover both Probability and Statistics in depth similar to 15.069.

Course 15 subjects with a '1' in the fourth decimal place (ex. 15.433/15.4331): The subject number with an extra '1' is the undergraduate number of the graduate subject. They meet together, in that they share the same lecture and deliverables, but the faculty have a different expectation and evaluation criteria for the undergraduates as compared to the graduate students (due mainly to the difference in professional experience that students have to draw upon). The undergraduate course number was added as a way to hold seats specifically for undergraduates. As with all undergraduate Course 15 subjects, there is no bidding necessary.
