World-renowned for both rigor and innovation, EECS is the largest undergraduate program at MIT. Our flexible curriculum and intensive, hands-on coursework gives students a holistic view of the field, an understanding of how to solve problems, and a focus on modeling and abstraction that prepares them for success in a wide range of industries, from software to bioengineering.
Taught by world class faculty, EECS students explore subjects critical to advancement in today’s high-tech society — from mathematical computer theory to circuit design and electronics, control and communication theory, artificial intelligence, and robotics. Starting salaries for students with bachelor’s degrees average above $90,000.
Check out the four undergraduate degree programs offered (6-1, 6-2, 6-3, and 6-7) and the master of engineering degree (6-P) available to EECS undergraduates with the option to complete the MEng thesis at a company through the 6-A program. All degree programs are highlighted in the cards on this page and link to further coverage.
Students may also engage in independent study or research for academic credit, with faculty supervision.
