Visiting Committees were established at MIT in 1875, and their recommendations have had a strong influence on the course of education and research at the Institute for over 120 years. The committees operate as advisory groups to the Corporation and the administration, offering appraisal, advice, and insight on each academic program and on other major activities at the Institute, including the Libraries, the offices of the Dean for Student Life and the Dean for Undergraduate Education, and Sponsored Research. The visiting committee system at MIT is among the strongest and most active at a major research university and provides valuable counsel on current activities and future directions.
