In addition, students must have satisfactorily completed a program of study approved in accordance with the faculty regulations, which includes the General Institute Requirements (GIRs) and the departmental program of the Course in which the degree is to be awarded. Departures from the departmental programs are allowed with departmental permission. See the Schools section, as well as individual degree charts, for information about specific programs. Substitutions for GIR subjects are allowed only by petition. Petitions pertaining to the Communication Requirement must be directed to the Subcommittee on the Communication Requirement (SOCR), and petitions for any substitutions in the Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences (HASS) Requirement must be directed to the Subcommittee on the HASS Requirement (SHR). The Committee on Curricula (CoC) considers petitions for substitutions in the Institute Laboratory Requirement and the Restricted Electives in Science and Technology (REST) Requirement. View Electives. Notes: ⁶57-72 additional units will be needed to accrue the 180 units beyond GIRs.
HASS	Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences	Fall	0 Cr.
	As part of MIT’s General Institute Requirements, all undergraduates must complete the HASS Requirement. It consists of eight subjects of at least nine units each in the humanities, arts, and social sciences. Learning in the humanities, arts, and social sciences (HASS) is an indispensable part of your undergraduate education. The HASS Requirement provides you with opportunities to deepen your knowledge in a variety of cultural and disciplinary areas, practice critical thinking, and develop vital skills while trying something new. There are three components to the HASS Requirement: Distribution, Concentration, and HASS Electives. To stay on pace, we recommend that you take one HASS subject each semester during your four years at MIT. Two of the subjects you complete to fulfill the HASS Requirement may also count toward the Communication Requirement if they are also designated as CI‑H subjects. Plan to take at least one HASS subject each semester. One of your two HASS subjects should be designated as Communication Intensive (CI‑H or CI‑HW). Consider a HASS Exploration Subject (HEX).
Science GIR	Science Requirement	Fall	0 Cr.
	MIT expects its graduates to have an understanding and appreciation of the basic concepts and methods of the physical and biological sciences. These concepts and methods are needed in most degree programs at the Institute. More important, they are an essential part of the background that MIT graduates bring to their roles as professionals and as broadly educated citizens in a world strongly influenced by science and technology. Students begin with six science core subjects in mathematics, physics, biology, and chemistry, and then add the Laboratory and Restricted Electives in Science and Technology (REST) Requirements. These requirements introduce basic elements of the scientific method: experimental foundations and techniques, mathematical analysis, and conceptual models for experimental facts. Important experimental as well as conceptual aspects are introduced by the chemistry and biology requirements and by the Laboratory Requirement. Mathematical methods common to much of science and technology are explored in the mathematics requirement. Basic concepts that underlie many physical phenomena are defined and elucidated in the physics and REST requirements. In addition to a rigorous introduction to the sciences, these requirements are intended to stimulate and challenge each student to review critically their knowledge, and to explore alternative conceptual and mathematical formulations that may provide better explanations of natural phenomena or may lead to better applications of technology. The development of critical and constructive approaches to both theory and practice in science, engineering, and other professions is a central objective of the Institute's educational programs.

15-1	Restricted Electives	Spring	0 Cr.
	15.501 Restricted Elective Through Restricted Electives in Science and Technology (REST) Requirement subjects, students can broaden and deepen the educational foundation in basic science begun in the first-year program and further the understanding of scientific inquiry. These subjects are designed to give students the opportunity to proceed further in areas already studied, or to explore other areas of potential interest. REST subjects vary in approach and emphasis. Some give a systematic introduction to the fundamental concepts and principles of a field; others illustrate through examples some of the attitudes, concerns, and methods that characterize professional work in the field. In general, REST subjects are not too specialized, too advanced, or devoted chiefly to instruction in a particular skill. Students typically take REST subjects in the second year, although with the proper prerequisites they may begin taking them in the first year. Students meet the REST Requirement by taking two subjects from the list below. Of the subjects used to fulfill the requirement, the student can take no more than one in their department. However, subjects designated with a J that are offered jointly with another department do not fall under the departmental limitation. In many cases, subjects required by a Departmental Program for the SB degree are also on the lists of REST and Laboratory Requirement subjects. Thus, students who follow a particular Departmental Program may simultaneously satisfy some part of these requirements.

HASS	Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences	Spring	0 Cr.
	As part of MIT’s General Institute Requirements, all undergraduates must complete the HASS Requirement. It consists of eight subjects of at least nine units each in the humanities, arts, and social sciences. Learning in the humanities, arts, and social sciences (HASS) is an indispensable part of your undergraduate education. The HASS Requirement provides you with opportunities to deepen your knowledge in a variety of cultural and disciplinary areas, practice critical thinking, and develop vital skills while trying something new. There are three components to the HASS Requirement: Distribution, Concentration, and HASS Electives. To stay on pace, we recommend that you take one HASS subject each semester during your four years at MIT. Two of the subjects you complete to fulfill the HASS Requirement may also count toward the Communication Requirement if they are also designated as CI‑H subjects. Plan to take at least one HASS subject each semester. One of your two HASS subjects should be designated as Communication Intensive (CI‑H or CI‑HW). Consider a HASS Exploration Subject (HEX).

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.
