AA Academic & Opportunities Directories
The Academic & Opportunities Directories are resources to help you advise your students comprehensively. By drawing upon other associate advisors’ academics and opportunities/activities, you will have access to a variety of broad and diverse experiences.
2024 Academics Directory:
The Academics Directory is separated into General Institute Requirements, majors, minors and concentration. It also includes class recommendations that can guide your registration meetings with your advisees and can also be helpful if your advisee is struggling with a specific class. This resource isn’t intended to serve as be a tutoring tool, since you should be directing your advisees to MIT’s tutoring resources.
2024 Opportunities Directory:
The Opportunities Directory is separated into UROP, MISTI and student organizations. It is intended to provide you with ideas to help your advisees explore MIT’s opportunities. Limited descriptions are provided for the various activities. This way, your advisee can follow up directly with the AA for more details.
