Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Consider taking an MIT course that Wellesley does not offer. You can follow up a Wellesley course with more advanced work, or just take a mathematics course in the environment of a research university. A beginning graduate course will give students a flavor of graduate school, although it is recommended that students take at least one undergraduate MIT course first. Be prepared for a very different experience!
Here are some suggested courses at MIT. To obtain more details, check the MIT mathematics course catalog and chat with Professor Hirschhorn.

Olin College
The Wellesley Registrar's Office has recently decided that Wellesley students can receive Wellesley College credit for the following mathematics courses at Olin. Some of these courses can be counted towards the Mathematics major or minor; please consult the Chair of the Department for details.
- MTH 2150: Applied Mathematical Methods
- MTH 2199: Introduction to Mathematical Modeling
- MTH 3140: Coding Theory
- MTH 3150: Numerical Methods and Scientific Computing
- MTH 3199: Special Topics in Mathematics: Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos
Wellesley students will receive one credit for each course, which the exception of MTH 2199: Introduction to Mathematical Modeling, for which they will receive 0.5 credits.
