The map

Intro tiers at the top, advanced work below; arrows point from a prerequisite to the course it unlocks. Courses from other departments appear where they gate QSE work. Click any course to see what it requires and unlocks without leaving this page; hovering lights up its neighbors. The lists on this page carry the same courses in text form.

Concentration routes

The concentrations and majors that build on QSE, and how their requirements are structured. Expand a program to see which courses satisfy each group, then plan it in the Planner.

Tracks
