Notes:
1Course 15/6 double majors have petitioned Course 6 to count 15.276 as a substitute for 6.UAT (EECS Additional Subject). Please note, though, Course 15 will not allow the reverse substitution (6.UAT will not substitute for 15.276).
26.1200 and 18.06/18.C06 can count as 15-2 Restricted Electives and are required for 6-4.
315.312 is no longer being offered. Students who have previously taken 15.312 can substitute this course for 15.301.
418.05 can fulfill the Probability+Statistics requirement for Course 15 and is a 6-4 Math Subject. Course 15/6 double majors can also count 6.3700 to fulfill these Course 15 and Course 6 requirements.
56.3900(6.036) fulfills the 15-2 Machine Learning requirement and can count as a Course 6 Data-centric Subject requirement for 6-4.
66.C571/15.093J can count as a Course 15 15-2 Restricted Elective and can count as either a Course 6 Decision-centric or Computation-centric Subject. Course 15 will allow 6.C571/15.C571 as a substitute for 15.053. Students who chose this will need to select a different 15-2 Restricted Elective as 6.C571/15.C571 cannot double count as fulfilling the 15-2 Optimization requirement and as a 15-2 Restricted Elective.
7Please check the Course 6 website for list of subjects that fulfill each requirement bucket. Take note of level, CI-M status, prerequisites and semesters offered.
8Joint Course 15 HASS subject 15.0161J can count toward the HASS requirement and also towards the minimum three Course 15 15-2 Restricted Electives.
**For students considering an MEng in Course 6 and wanting to complete their MEng in one year, you will 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 double counted, i.e. used towards fulfilling your undergraduate Course 6 requirements, your undergraduate Course 15 requirements, GIRs, or 180 units beyond GIRs. Please see the Course 6 website for a list of eligible courses and confirm with Course 6 inadvance and prior to taking a specific course if you would like that course to count toward your MEng.
