What's required for a PhD in pure math at MIT?

Question

I'm new to college and I was wondering.

I want to complete a PhD in pure math at MIT.

Could you complete a Bachelor's degree at another university or would you have to get a Master's degree before you could enter the program?

In the US it's typical to enter PhD studies directly after undergraduate. Of course, MIT has relatively high standards. — Kimball, Jun 22 '16 at 11:55
@Kimball Indeed, similarly to how you need to be relatively good at football to play in the NFL. — Tobias Kildetoft, Jun 22 '16 at 12:03

Do I need a master's degree before applying?

No, a bachelor's degree (or equivalent) is required.
