Over the past year, the department has been revising its lab curriculum in order to accommodate the increasing number of students doing interdisciplinary Biology-related majors and to respond to the large numbers of students doing UROPs. Course 7 and 7A will be consolidated into a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/biology.mit.edu\/undergraduate\/course-requirements\/\">single major<\/a>. Current 7A students will graduate with a Course 7 degree.<\/p>\n<p>Most of the major requirements have stayed the same. The major changes are in the lab curriculum and are described as follows:<\/p>\n<p><strong>7.02 (18 units, CI-M) will be discontinued<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a0Students who already took this course are all set.\u00a0\u00a0If a student has not taken this course, there are other options to fulfill the lab requirement.<\/li>\n<li>7.02 will be replaced with two courses 7.002 (6 units, Fall &amp; Spring) and 7.003 (12 units, CI-M, Fall &amp; Spring). Both must be taken to fulfill the lab requirement and the CI-M. We hope the modularization of these courses will help students to fit them in their schedule<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>7.18 (30 units, CI-M) will be discontinued<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If a student already took this course, it will count and they are all set.<\/li>\n<li>If a student did not take it, they will need a second CI-M. 7.19 (12 units, CI-M) is a Biology CI-M that substitutes for 7.18.<\/li>\n<li>Other CI-Ms can also be used and are listed on the degree charts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We hope that these changes will enhance the student experience at MIT, and we are happy to hear and help you solve any concerns that you have.
