The book was used as the textbook for MIT's former introductory programming course, 6.001,<ref>{{cite web |url=https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science/6-001-structure-and-interpretation-of-computer-programs-spring-2005/ |title=Electrical Engineering and Computer Science; 6.001 Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs |date=Spring 2005 |website=OpenCourseWare |publisher=MIT |access-date=2020-06-21}}</ref> from fall 1984 through its last semester, in fall 2007.<ref>{{Citation |first=Donald |last=Guy |quote=I talked to Professor Sussman on the phone... He said that he'd actually been trying to have 6.001 replaced for the last ten years (and I read somewhere that Professor Abelson was behind the move too). Understanding the principles is not essential for an introduction to the subject matter anymore. He sees 6.001 as obsolete. |url=http://mitadmissions.org/blogs/entry/the_end_of_an_era_1 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180821202714/http://mitadmissions.org/blogs/entry/the_end_of_an_era_1 |url-status=dead |archive-date=2018-08-21 |title=MIT Admissions |type=blog comment |contribution=The End of an Era |access-date=2008-08-05}}</ref> Other schools also made use of the book as a course textbook.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://mitpress.mit.edu/sites/default/files/sicp/adopt-list.html |title=Universities and Colleges Using SICP |publisher=MIT Press |access-date=2022-03-30 |archive-date=2022-04-23 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220423072605/https://mitpress.mit.edu/sites/default/files/sicp/adopt-list.html |url-status=dead }}</ref>
