MIT Grad school

<p>I have a question regarding grad school at MIT. I notice at least for Aero/Astro the requirements are only 66 units plus a thesis. From my understanding, classes there are 12 units. This means that you would have to take approximately 6 classes to do an MS. Is this correct? That means you could finish very easily in 1 year assuming you can finish your thesis in one year as well. I have noticed that most other schools require 8 to 9 classes for an MS. BTW, I am going to Georgia Tech for my BS in Aerospace Engineering this fall. They gave me a lot of $$$$$$. Thanks a lot.</p>

<p>Sorry, I didnt' see that there is a grad school section too. I'll post there as well.</p>

<p>I just asked my boyfriend (who's an aero/astro junior) if anybody ever finished the aero/astro masters program in one year, and he laughed really hard and said "f no".</p>

<p>Regardless of the course requirement, I think it still takes everybody at least two years, if not more, to complete the masters.</p>
