MIT Course Scheduler

Problem: MIT has complex degree requirements, and it can be hard to plan a course schedule.

Solution: Our tool generates a schedule automatically for your remaining semesters.

Features:

• Can import completed courses from an MIT WebSIS grade report.
• Allows you to tweak a solution by excluding certain courses, moving a course to another semester, and more.
• Includes requirements for Course VI undergraduate degree programs (and more to come).
• Supports an expressive XML format for specifying degree requirements that have not been included.

Run the Java Applet (requires Java 1.5)
