Advising resources for undergraduate education by field

Here you will find worksheets for students and advisors to plan a degree path. There are four-year course plan schedules and examples of dual-degree plans, as well as comparisons of paths to study a science/engineering field with a SHASS field, either as a dual degree, as a joint degree, in combination with a minor, or as a major alone. If a student is interested in a roadmap for a combination that is not listed here, you may email shass-ug@mit.edu.
