Applications for first-year students will open in April 2025.

New Engineering Education Transformation (NEET) at MIT is a 3-year, experiential learning program that empowers undergraduates to collaborate across disciplines through an immersive, applied education. Over the course of the program, NEET scholars work in cross-departmental communities to tackle real-life, high-impact projects and develop the interdisciplinary skills needed to prepare for their careers and build the impactful solutions of the future.

NEET scholars earn a degree in the major of their choice and a NEET Certificate in one of four pathways of study or “threads."
