About the MIT Communication Requirement

Distinct from the HASS Requirement
The HASS Education Office does many things, but we do not administer the MIT Communication Requirement, which is separate from the HASS Requirement.

Good News: Some CI-H subjects are also HASS-Ds
All MIT undergraduates must take four Communication-Intensive (CI) subjects. Two of these must be HASS subjects, designated CI-H and usually taken during the freshman and sophomore years. Many CI-H subjects are HASS-Ds and can be applied toward both the Communication and the HASS-Distribution Requirements. The other two Communication-Intensive subjects, designated CI-M, are in the student’s major field, and are usually taken during the junior and senior years.


Note to Instructors
