FOUR-YEAR BA HONORS COMPUTER SCIENCE AND Media, Information, & Technoculture

Admission Requirements

To be considered for admission to the second year of the Combined Honors program in Computer Science and MIT, a student must achieve a minimum overall weighted average of 75.0% in 5.0 full-course equivalents numbered 001-099 (including the principal courses for the program) with no unsatisfactory attempts.

The selection process for admission to second year of the MIT Combined Honors program is based on a student carrying a full course load, including the MIT first-year prerequisites. Eligibility is determined by a student's overall weighted average obtained at the end of the academic year. In cases where the number of applicants exceeds the number of spaces, admission will be competitive. Attainment of the minimum admission requirements does not guarantee admission.
