Policy on Ph.D. level courses (26 level codes)
The M.I.T.A. students are allowed to take any Ph.D. level course offered in the Department of Management Science and Information Systems as an elective. However, to protect the quality of those Ph.D. level courses, which are primarily for Ph.D. students, they are not explicitly mentioned in the electives list. To use Ph.D. and other graduate courses from other departments as electives, students must request and receive approval from the program directors on a case-by-case basis.

Policy on Business Courses in RBS
Some students with a strong prior technical background may be interested in taking graduate courses (e.g., M.B.A. courses) with strong business content from other RBS departments. Qualified M.I.T.A. students may take up to two such courses with the program directors' approval.
