35 students graduated this year with degrees in economics, and 6 graduated with degrees in economics. (Degree numbers for all departments [here](Statistics & Reports | MIT Registrar).)

Both departments are outstanding, with great reputations and remarkable faculty members. However, keep in mind that every student who attends MIT must complete the General Institute Requirements, which currently include two semesters of physics, two semesters of calculus, a semester of chemistry, a semester of biology, a lab class, and two restricted electives in science and technology. Even if you are not interested in majoring in science or engineering, you must still complete this requirement at MIT levels of rigor in order to get an MIT degree.
