Cross-registration
The MIT Registrar page describes the undergraduate model as General Institute Requirements plus departmental curricula across more than 20 departments; the SB degree generally requires four academic years of full-time study.
The official GIR description shows MIT’s core requirements, HASS, laboratory and departmental requirements, plus a substantial unrestricted-elective component within the degree.
MIT rules allow students to add a second major by completing GIRs, both majors’ requirements, GPA/term eligibility and approvals; this defines a regular but rigorous two-major pathway.
MIT publishes cross-registration rules for full-time students taking courses at Harvard, Wellesley and MassArt, including deadlines, limits, tuition treatment and credit handling.
The MIT Registrar table for the Fall 2025 term reports 4,561 undergraduate students.
MIT has no specialist degree level, so the combined bachelor and specialist total equals the bachelor's figure, while the specialist field is stored as 0.
