Program and Curriculum
MIT’s strength—as represented by its official seal and motto, mens et manus, mind and hand—is the fusion of academic knowledge with practical purpose. MIT believes the best education occurs when students are self-motivated and engaged participants in a dynamic community of learners. Consequently, an MIT undergraduate education combines rigorous academics with a "learning-by-doing" approach.
When students come here, they often feel like a kid in a candy store — the options seem infinite.
When you’re admitted to MIT, you’re admitted to the entire Institute. MIT don’t ask you to decide your major, your minor, or even your eventual calling.

Useful Information
What MIT look for in an undergraduate applicant
What we look for?
Student should be invested in the things that really mean something to you (we’re not particularly picky as to what). Explore! Choose quality over quantity—you don’t have to do a million things to get into college. Put your heart into a few things that you truly care about and that will be enough.
