FIELDS

OF HASS CONCENTRATION
The Department of Urban Studies and Planning offers many possibilities for creating a concentration tailored to your needs and interests. The Following list suggests some of the possible combinations of subjects. When more than three subjects are listed, the student should select three (3) in consultation with the Concentration Advisor. You can also always create a concentration that fits your particular interests within Institute guidelines. We will assist you in selecting three subjects that suit your concerns and background. Since some subjects are offered only every other year, we encourage you to discuss the possibilities with us by the end of your sophomore year. For further information contact Professor Lawrence Susskind, susskind@mit.edu, room 9-332, 617-253-2026. Course offerings change on an annual basis and students should check with the Department for the latest information.
