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.
