<p>MIT’s General Institute Requirements (GIRs) ensure that all of our students are broadly educated in the physical, natural and social sciences in addition to rigorous training within their own area of professional specialization and expertise.</p><br/> <h4> Schools of Study </h4> <p>• <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180726173052/https://engineering.mit.edu/" target="_blank">Engineering</a><br/> • <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180726173052/http://web.mit.edu/science/" target="_blank">Science</a><br/> • <a

Pass/No Record </h4> <p>The first semester at MIT will be graded on a pass/no record basis: if you pass the class you get a “pass” on your transcript; if not, there is no record you took it. The second semester is similar, except that if you pass, you get a letter grade of A/B/C.</p><br/> <h4> D-Lab </h4> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180726173052/http://d-lab.mit.edu/" target="_blank">D-Lab</a> works with people around the world to develop and advance collaborative approaches and practical solutions to global poverty challenges. D-Lab was founded by MIT alum <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180726173052/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amy_B._Smith" target="_blank">Amy Smith ‘84</a> after she won the MIT-Lemelson Student Prize and MacArthur Genius Grant.

IAP activities may take almost any form, from how-to sessions, forums, lecture series and films, to tours, recitals, and contests.</p> </div> </aside> <div id="main" class="base d3-d8 d-padinfull"> <p> <img alt="Product Design Laboratory" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20180726173052im_/http://mitadmissions.org/images/mit-pages/productdesignlab.jpg" style="width: 100%; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 15px; float: left;"/></p> <h3> Academics @ MIT</h3> <p> MIT is one of the best places in the world to be a student.</p> <h4> Incredible Faculty</h4> <p> We are a research university that places a great deal of <g class="gr_ gr_53 gr-alert gr_gramm Grammar multiReplace" data-gr-id="53" id="53">emphasis</g> on undergraduate education. There are 22 MacArthur Genius Grant Fellows, 10 Nobel Prize Laureates and 2 Pulitzer Prize winners, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180726173052/http://web.mit.edu/ir/pop/awards/index.html" target="_blank">among many other luminaries</a>, currently on our faculty, and all of them teach undergraduate classes.</p> <p> In fact, all classes at MIT are taught by distinguished professors because we believe that you should learn from the very best from the moment you step foot on campus. That's why folks like <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180726173052/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_lander" target="_blank">Eric Lander</a>, father of the Human Genome Project, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180726173052/http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/biology/7-012-introduction-to-biology-fall-2004/" target="_blank">teaches introductory biology</a>.</p> <h4> Student Collaboration</h4> <p> MIT also has a strong culture of student collaboration. Students are encouraged and expected to work with each other on homework—or <g class="gr_ gr_57 gr-alert gr_spell ContextualSpelling ins-del multiReplace" data-gr-id="57" id="57">psets</g>, in MIT parlance. For any given pset, you likely won't be able to do everything on your own, so you'll find (or make) a few friends in the class and go work together to get it done.</p> <p> We do this because it's how problems are solved in the real world—by small teams of smart people contributing their individual expertise and understanding. When you graduate from MIT and go to work at a Fortune 500 company or a nonprofit, or as an entrepreneur delivering an elevator pitch, you're going to need to know how to work with others. So that's what you'll do here at MIT.</p> <h3> Research @ MIT</h3> <p> MIT students have unparalleled opportunities to engage in cutting-edge research as undergraduates.</p> <h4> Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program</h4> <p> The flagship MIT student research program is <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180726173052/http://uaap.mit.edu/research-exploration/urop" target="_blank">UROP</a>. When you do a UROP, you will find a professor who is working on something that you think is awesome. You and the professor will work on a proposal, and then you will join their team. 91% of undergraduates complete at least one research experience through UROP before they graduate, and most do four or more. Many of them will be credited as co-authors on peer-reviewed publications. Some even earn patents—our Technology Licensing Office has signed 50-75 option and license agreements every year for the past five years.</p> <p> By the example of their own lives, a crucial part of what our faculty members teach is the "instinct" for first-class research: the disciplined curiosity, the irreverent creativity, the endless ability to persevere. At MIT, those skills and values are as much a part of the atmosphere as oxygen.</p> <p> Research labs at which you could pursue a UROP include:</p> <ul> <li> The <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180726173052/https://civic.mit.edu/" target="_blank">Center for Civic Media</a>, which develops new technologies that support civic media and activism</li> <li> The <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180726173052/http://ki.mit.edu/" target="_blank">Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research</a>, a National Cancer Institute <g class="gr_ gr_52 gr-alert gr_spell ContextualSpelling" data-gr-id="52" id="52">designate and the hub of cancer research on the MIT campus</g></li> <li> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180726173052/http://d-lab.mit.edu/" target="_blank">D-Lab</a>, which develops sustainable technologies and solutions for problems in the developing world</li> <li> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180726173052/http://gamelab.mit.edu/join-us/" target="_blank">MIT Game Lab</a>, which develops games to demonstrate and conduct research</li> <li> MIT's <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180726173052/http://web.mit.edu/nrl/www/" target="_blank">nuclear reactor</a>, which conducts advanced, interdisciplinary research on materials science and radiation therapy</li> </ul> <p> plus <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180726173052/http://web.mit.edu/research/" target="_blank">hundreds of other laboratories across campus</a>.</p> <h4> Global Research: MISTI</h4> <p> If you'd like to pursue your research globally, you can undertake a fully-funded internship through the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180726173052/http://misti.mit.edu/" target="_blank">MIT International Science & Technology Initiative (MISTI)</a>.
