The selection process for admission to second year of the Honors program is based on a student carrying a full course load, including the MIT first-year prerequisites. Eligibility is determined by a student's overall weighted average obtained at the end of the academic year. In cases where the number of applicants exceeds the number of spaces, admission will be competitive. Attainment of the minimum admission requirements does not guarantee admission.

Progression Requirements

To progress to the third and fourth years of the Honors program, a student must achieve a minimum overall weighted average of 72.0% in each academic session, with no unsatisfactory attempts.

Graduation Requirements

Note: For the purposes of calculating averages for progression and graduation, all MIT courses at the 200 level or higher will be considered principal courses.

Program Requirements

• Five courses from 001-099, including Computer Science 031a/b, Media, Information and Technoculture 025a/b and Media, Information and Technoculture 026a/b. A first year program must also include at least one course from two of the Faculties of Arts, Science and Social Science. Courses should be selected from at least four different subject areas with no more than two courses in the same subject area.

After first year, a student must complete 9.0 full-course equivalents in MIT and 6.0 full-course equivalent electives. Note that students in the four-year BA Honors may count up to 3.5 full-course equivalents from a list of approved alternates towards the MIT elective requirements. Students should consult the list of approved alternates found at the end of this section. The distribution of MIT courses is as follows:
