Possible to do Stand Alone Computer Science Program?

<p>Hello! I was just glancing at the undergrad majors offered from MIT. One thing that I clearly saw was that there was not "stand alone" comp sci program. Comp sci was either paired with Electrical engineering, Biology, or Mathematics. It is true that you can't just do Comp Sci by itself? Or am I wrong?</p>

<p>You can do comp sci by itself, through the 6-3 major (officially named computer science and engineering) in course 6 (the computer science and electrical engineering department). The requirements are here: <a href=“Welcome! < MIT”>Welcome! < MIT;

<p>As Lydia said, 6-3 is the pure CS track. That said, you’ll still need to take 6.01 (Introduction to EECS I), which does involve learning a very small amount of circuits.</p>

<p>You also have to take 6.02 which I think also has a lot of EE stuff.</p>

<p>Another option is course 18C, and the requirements are here - <a href=“Welcome! < MIT”>Welcome! < MIT;

<p>Thanks for the info guys! :)</p>

<p>6.02 is a class on digital communications, so there are EE concepts, but it’s entirely based on coding (rather than, say, constructing circuits like you do in 6.002). I never really thought of it as an EE class.</p>
