Graduate students may pursue work leading to any of the following master’s degrees: Master of Science (SM); Master of Engineering (MEng); Master of Architecture (MArch); Master in City Planning (MCP); Master of Finance (MFin); Master of Business Administration (MBA), and Master of Applied Science (MASc).

Each graduate program is described in individual department or program statements on graduate education in the MIT Bulletin. These statements should be consulted for more specific information.
