HASS Requirement?

[molliebatmit]

<p>Don’t worry too much if you don’t totally understand the HASS requirement right now – you’ll figure it out later.</p>

<p>What first-term freshmen mostly need to know is that it’s a good idea to take a class that is both HASS-D and CI first semester. It’s also a good idea, although not critical, to take another HASS that is both HASS-D and CI second semester.</p>

<p>If it helps to see the requirement visually, I wrote in [another</a> thread](<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=315776&page=3]another”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=315776&page=3)

[li]Three HASS [url=<a href=“http://web.mit.edu/shass/undergraduate/hass-req/hass-d/index.shtml]distribution[/url”>http://web.mit.edu/shass/undergraduate/hass-req/hass-d/index.shtml]distribution[/url</a>] classes[/li][list=1]
[li]All three from different lists[/li][/ol][/list][/list]
Some of those categories overlap – for example, many HASS distribution classes are also communication intensive, and you can concentrate in an area in which you took a HASS-D/CI-H, if you want.
