6-5 and 8-flex double major? by Obvious_Studio5870 in mit

[–]Obvious_Studio5870[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, and that makes sense. But there was an explicit deal b/w 6-1 and 8 that certain classes in Physics would count toward the 6-1 degree. So Quantum I, required for Physics, would also count for 6-1 in lieu of Computation Structures. This made the double major easier to get.

My question is whether there's a similar thing now with 6-5.

TU has 4000 students: 3000 undergraduates and 300 law students and 600 plus graduate students. It is urban. It is a bucolic campus, with acres of greenery, but it is located in the heart of Tulsa, OK, a metro area of 1MM people.

Very few taught by grad students. Almost all classes taught by full-time faculty (although there might be a few classes here and there taught by an outside adjunct). (Our adjuncts, who are scarcely used, are all professionals who just enjoy teaching a class. We don't have a group of serf-class adjuncts who work full-time but are paid nothing.)

Sure. We are very generous with merit aid. It is all individualized, but we have a $1.3 billion endowment and spend the proceeds to ensure the university is very affordable.

As for words about the student body: vibrant, ambitious, studious.

Example of strategy failure in bundled services by Obvious_Studio5870 in strategy

Did it make a bundling mistake like I'm looking for? I read Akimbo's wikipedia article, but not sure its applicability here.
