What is the minimum # of classes required to take during the first and second semesers for the LGO program? Is the workload over demanding or manageable?
You can find the general guideline here:
https://lgo.mit.edu/engineering-manufact ... ement.htmlSummer is set. 6 courses, class every day 8am-1230pm with occasional afternoon classes. I think most people thought it was manageable. Some people like to do 100% of everything, however, which will severely limit your free time. In reality the assignments are group oriented, so you learn to balance the workload within the team. Some people seemed to do better with this than others. It all depends on what type of person you are.
Fall is mostly set too. 4 Core classes on Tu/Th then you can add marketing and/or finance (but you dont have to). Some take 2 engineering classes, but most do 1 in the fall. I did 1 (logistics systems) and also took marketing. They you can take a sloan elective as well. I took Global Health Delivery and Management. Overally, the fall is less manageable than the summer, but I still managed to do everything I wanted to socially and personally. However, I am the type of person that goes out of my way to prioritize those types of things. Saw some people get pretty overwhelmed with the Core just cause its your whole day of classes sometimes. Fridays are mostly empty with the occasional career seminars (probably 6-7 of the weeks)
