<p class="MsoNormal">Hello, Lovely UAAs,<br>
<br>
Just in time for pre-registration, we have once again put together a short list of suggested introductory subjects for students looking to fulfill their HASS GIRs. SHASS faculty feel these subjects are particularly appropriate for students without any previous
experience in our fields. You can find the Fall 2019 list here: <a href="http://shass.mit.edu/undergraduate/classes">http://shass.mit.edu/undergraduate/classes</a>. Students are more than welcome to take subjects not listed here, but this should be a helpful
starting point for students who aren't sure where their interests lie. <b>Please circulate this list to your majors, advisors</b>, and anyone else you think might benefit from a short list of recommended, introductory-level HASS subjects within the School
of HASS. <br>
<br>
Best wishes, <o:p></o:p></p>
