<p>Nice, you're my hero then ^^</p>
<p>HASS-CI classes are part of the HASS requirement. CI classes in a major (CI-M) are not.</p>
<p>Your concentration can be in anything you want it to be -- it doesn't have to include a HASS-D. So generally speaking, you'll take three classes from different HASS-D lists, three to four classes in some concentration, and one to three electives. And two of those eight classes have to be CI.</p>
<p>The HASS requirement is absurdly complex, and they're talking about changing it sometime within the next few years. I doubt it'll be changed in time to make a difference for your class, though.</p>
<p>To further the question asked earlier about C++ and stuff,
the underground guide to course 6 says that one of the prereqs for 6.001 is programming experiance.</p>
<p>What do we really need to know/what should I learn if I don't already know over summer?</p>
<p>Oh, thanks Mollie (again) cause I was really lost about it. I still can't see why MIT people don't explain that kind of stuff easier (like you just did)</p>
<p>and well, I really want to know the answer to that last post too^</p>
<p>Is double-majoring worth it if I am interested in both Course 7 and 9, but my gpa may suffer a bit because I am handling a tougher courseload? I plan to go to medical school, so I want a high gpa. What are some pros and cons to double-majoring?</p>

To be totally honest, I only explain it well because I've tried to explain it so many times. The requirements are bewildering until you understand what's going on -- the first time I sat down to make a class plan, I didn't understand the whole "units outside the GIRs" thing and ended up making a plan that did absolutely nothing.</p>
<p>Re: double majors
You should only do a double major because it is emphatically something you want to do. As asdf123 said, it doesn't have many concrete advantages when applying for jobs or graduate/professional schools -- it's nice for you, but it's probably not going to do much for you directly.</p>
<p>That said, double-majoring doesn't inherently lower your GPA. Some people (me) do much better in class when they're taking absurd numbers of courses -- my highest GPAs at MIT were the two semesters I was taking 75 units. (Don't ask me to explain, because I can't.)</p>
<p>If you're just interested in a subject, it's perfectly acceptable to major in one thing and take a handful of courses in another. You don't have to major in something to take classes in that department.</p>
<p>because they figure you should have already looked it up yourself
in person MIT students will be more helpful but its easier to find the information than to post a question and wait
and yes, I'm bitter. like a dry lemon</p>
<p>wait so... you have to take 8 semesters of HASS <em>not counting</em> CI-Ms?</p>
<p>CI-M's aren't HASS classes -- they're just classes in your major that have a writing component. Many majors make their labs the CI-M's, and the CI part is that you have to write a paper about the work you've done in lab.</p>
<p>List</a> of CI-M classes</p>
<p>CI-H classes are included in the 8 total HASS classes you have to take.</p>
<p>River Phoenix, what's your major(s) and/or minor?</p>
<p>I'm 18 and 6-2 M-eng in 6-2 with a minor in 14
I'm going to try to do the M-eng in 4 years but it all depends on the thesis
Minor in 14 doesn't mean much, I'm just using all those (easy) classes as my humanities requirement</p>
<p>Sorry, please explain what "6-2" mean? Which one is easier for a minor (or for the HASS concentration): 14 or 15?</p>
<p>6-1 is Electrical Engineering (officially you earn a "Bachelor of Science in Electrical Science and Engineering").
6-2 is Electrical Engineering and Computer Science ("Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science").
6-3 is Computer Science ("Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Engineering").

<p>Management isn't in the school of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences, it's in the Sloan School of Management. Course 15 classes aren't HASSes.</p>
<p>It's difficult to generally say anything about the course 15 minor, other than by talking about course 15 classes in general, because the minor program is new this year.</p>
