Program Requirements
4+1 students will enter the M.S. in QSE degree program after completing the equivalent of 3 years of full-time course work (at least 90 credits) in a Computer Science undergraduate major at UD. Students should consult with their advisor early in the undergrad program to ensure they choose appropriate coursework. Students apply and are admitted to the 4+1 program as juniors (with at least 75 credits). If admitted, during the course of their fourth year of study (or equivalent) they will take courses in the sequence required for earning an M.S. in QSE, with 9 of the earned credits simultaneously counting towards fulfilling the requirements of the undergraduate degree. - Students are required to follow the Quantum Algorithms track for the QSE MS degree.
- Students are required to take math and computer science courses to ensure that (1) CISC320 Introduction to Algorithms, (2) MATH 349 Elementary Linear Algebra, and (3) MATH350 Probability Theory and Simulation Methods or their equivalents are taken before starting their graduate level courses to ensure that they have sufficient background for the quantum algorithms and the rest of the MS in QSE curriculum.
- Students will take PHYS650 Intro. To Quantum Computation and Information no later than their fourth (senior) year. This 3 credit course will double count towards the BS in CS (satisfies BS non-CS elective requirement) and MS in QSE. This course is usually offered in Fall semesters.
- Students will take QSEG851 Advanced Topics in Quantum Information. This 3 credit course will double count towards the BS in CS (satisfies BS non-CS elective requirement) and MS in QSE. This course is usually offered in Spring semesters.
- Students may select one course from the following list to double count towards the BS in CS and MS in QSE: CISC621, CISC684, CISC601, CISC830, QSE820/CISC820.
Students successfully completing the program will ultimately earn a B.S. in Computer Science and an M.S. degree in QSE, both from UD. |
