<p>Is Course 6 - Electrical Engineering and Computer Science a program or is it just a class? What's this course like? What's a typical day like in this course? For those of you taking this course, why did you decide to take it? What makes MIT's Electrical Engineering and Computer Science program different from other school's?
How about Course 18 - Mathematics?(same questions as above)</p>
<p>Course 6 is not a class or a program...it's a MAJOR.</p>
<p>Same goes for 18.</p>
<p>At MIT, majors are called courses...and they are all designated by numbers.</p>
<p>For example...course 1 is civil and environmental engineering.</p>
<p>whats the difference between a major and a program?</p>
<p>A major is a program of study leading to a terminal degree. Programs include majors, minors, concentrations, extracurricular activities, and so on. You can explore MIT's academic programs here: MIT</a> - education</p>
