MAGNET FOR INTEGRATED TECHNOLOGY

THE PROGRAM
M.I.T. students participate in a multifaceted technology program in business, computing sciences, engineering, fine arts, health professions or media while completing a comprehensive college-preparatory program of academics.

THE STRANDS AND COURSES
Freshmen year, most students will take Technology Systems, a modular course that introduces the students to the five strands of our program. For the second year, students will be asked to choose one of the five strands on which to focus their elective courses. Students will take at least one Magnet elective course each year. Students interested in Health Professions and Engineering will start the strand in the ninth grade year and will not take Technology Systems. There is also a separate application process for the Engineering program. For more information on the application process, please visit the Computer Sciences and Engineering page here for the application.

The strands are Business, Computer Sciences & Engineering, Fine Arts, Health Professionals and Media. The links below will take you to individual pages for each strand with specific information and sample four year plans:
