Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Online Module

MIT is committed to advancing a respectful and caring community that embraces diversity, equity and inclusion and empowers everyone to learn and do their best. MIT embraces a welcoming and inclusive campus culture – and building that culture is our responsibility as members of the MIT community.

To help further this end, MIT offers Diversity, Equity, Inclusion: Stud Pt 1 (DEI), an online training that starts with common understanding of terms, learning to identify unconscious bias, and knowing what resources we have available at MIT.

This course is required for all new, incoming graduate students, who will receive direct communication with links and deadlines. Incoming students complete Part 1 of this online program in the summer prior to starting classes. The course will take approximately 45 minutes to complete. It may be completed in multiple sittings. Incoming students will be prompted to complete the brief Part 2 of the program in October.

Students who fail to complete Part 1 of these courses will be subject to a registration hold for Fall 2023.

For more information about addressing issues of diversity, equity and inclusion, please see the resources below: 

• Institute Community and Equity Office (ICEO) 
• Intercultural Engagement (i.e.) – for students
