<p>I have decided to attend MIT. I want to go to medical school for graduate school. A friend told me that about three-quarters of the medical schools require you to take English. I know we have to take 8 humanity classes at MIT, but is there turly any "English" classes?</p>
<p>What are some English classes to be taken by undergraduates? What are some easy ones? hard ones?</p>
<p>Since chemistry, biology, and physics are required courses at MIT, I am not worrying about those.</p>
<p>Um, we just call it the Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences requirement. The classes are in a variety</a> of departments... I mean, it's possible to major in English at MIT, let alone take a couple of English classes.</p>
<p>MIT has a department of Literature and a department of Writing; to fulfill the premedical</a> required courses you can take courses in either department.</p>
<p>Thanks, you are very helpful!</p>
<p>For English, it states: "Two terms of Literature or writing subjects. We suggest taking a 9-12 unit 21W Exposition and Rhetoric course one term. The other term could include other 21W courses (preferably Science Writing or Technical Communication Studies,) as well as 21L courses concentrating in Literature. In addition, courses that meet the CI-H requirement may also be used."</p>
<p>I have no clue what it is talking about. Please explain. 21W? 21L? CI-H? Rhetoric course?</p>
<p>MIT2010, eventually all of this will become clearer. You'll receive mailings over the summer and into the fall that will help it make more sense. For now, how about checking out the courses offered in various departments (known as "Courses") here -- 21W and 21L can be seen there as "Writing and Humanistic Studies" and "Literature" respectively. CI-H courses are usually writing classes (see here).</p>
<p>I haven't met a humanities major during cpw. lol.</p>
<p>Well... there aren't that many. And most of them are double-majors with a technical field.</p>
<p>I do know, off the top of my head, a 21A single-major and a 21W single major. Well, and several econ majors, but I always forget they're School of Humanities.</p>
