While we can’t recommend specific classes, you may want to compare the courses offered at your institution to MIT’s by referring to the MIT Bulletin (course and degree catalog). You’ll find descriptions of MIT’s academic programs and General Institute Requirements (GIRs) here.

Are there other classes I should take beyond the recommended coursework?
