Undergraduate

Double Major: Course 15-3 Finance + Course 6-5 Electrical Engineering with Computing

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 whichever checks off the most boxes. Please read the footnotes for additional options, email: ugeducation@sloan.mit.edu or come see us in E52-150 (Suite 133). 

Subjects that fulfill both Course 15 and Course 6-5  are in bold.

Notes:
1Students can choose to take both 15.417 and 15.418. Students who take 15.401 (rather than 15.417) must take 15.418. Students who take 15.402 (rather than 15.418) must take 15.417. Majors who take only one of 15.417 or 15.418, must take 15.276 or 15.279 to complete their second CI-M. Course 15/6 double majors have petitioned Course 6 to count 15.279 or 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 or 15.279).
2 18.05 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
314.01 is a HASS subject. 15.0111 is not a HASS subject. Students who take 15.0111 will need to take an additional HASS course.
4Please 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.

**For students considering an MEng in Course 6 and wanting to complete their MEng in one year, you will want to plan your courseroad 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 in advance and prior to taking a specific course if you would like that course to count toward your MEng.
