Undergraduate

Double Major: 15-1 Management + Course 6-9 Computation and Cognition


This roadmap is an ‘MIT student optimized’ guide for structuring your schedule. Course 15 always encourages you to choose courses based upon interest, not by which ever checks off the most boxes. Please read the footnotes for additional options and email ugeducation@sloan.mit.edu or come see us in the Program Office (E52-150 Suite 133) to discuss.

Notes:

  1. Course 15/6-9 double majors have petitioned Course 9 to count 15.276 or 15.279 as a substitute for 6.UAT (Advanced Undergraduate Project). Please note, though, Course 15 will not allow the reverse substitution (6.UAT will not substitute for15.276 or 15.279)
  2. 9.85 fulfills the Computation and Cognition requirement and is a HASS course. Students who choose an alternative (9.19, 9.49, 9.53, or 9.66) need an additional HASS Course.
  3. 14.01 is a HASS subject.15.0111 is not a HASS subject. If students take15.0111, the 9 units will count toward the 180 units beyond GIRs and students will need to take another HASS subject.
  4. 9.07 can fulfill the Probability+Statistics requirement for Course 15and is a 6-9 Math Subject. Course 15/6 double majors have petitioned Course 9 to count 15.069 as a substitute for 9.07.
  5. Up to two Course 6-9 courses or non-Course 15 courses can also count as15-1 Concentration Electives provided these subjects form an intellectually coherent 15-1 Concentration.
  6. Please check the Course 6-9 website for list of subjects that fulfill each requirement bucket. Take note of prerequisites and semesters offered. Some subjects have prerequisites that are not included in the list of required courses.
  7. Joint Course 15 HASS subjects (15.0201J, 15.037J, 15.039J, 15.238J, and 15.302J) can count toward the HASS requirement and also towards the minimum three Course 15-1 Concentration Electives provided these subjects form an intellectually coherent 15-1 Concentration.
  8. For students considering an MEng in Course 6-9 and wanting to complete their MEng in one year, you may want to plan your course road with two “extra” courses that you can apply toward your MEng. If you are planning on getting funding through an RA-ship/TA-ship for your MEng, you are restricted to two courses per MEng semester. Having two “extra” courses to apply toward your MEng will allow the possibility of graduating in a year (an MEng is typically six courses plus thesis). These “extra” courses cannot be used towards fulfilling your undergraduate Course 6 requirements, GIRs, or 180 units beyond GIRs, but can count towards fulfilling your Course 15requirements. Please see the Course 6-9 website for a list of eligible courses and confirm with Course 9 in advance and prior to taking a specific course if you would like that course to count toward your MEng.
