About NEET
NEET is a cross-departmental academic program that cultivates in undergraduates the essential interdisciplinary skills needed to address the grand challenges of the 21st century. Students who elect to pursue the program spend their sophomore through senior years working collaboratively on a series of projects from the real world that cut across traditional disciplinary boundaries. They simultaneously earn a degree in their chosen major and a NEET certificate in autonomous machines, climate and sustainability systems, digital cities, or living machines.
With your support, NEET can offer undergraduates a transformative academic path—one that fuels their tremendous ambitions to make a better world.
*If you do not see a particular fund listed, you can donate on the MIT giving site and still be counted in the MIT 24-Hour Challenge.
