The Master of Science in Quantum Information Science program requires a minimum of 28 graduate units with at least 20 units at the 500 level. A minimum grade point average of 3.0 must be earned on all course work applied toward the degree. This average must also be achieved on all 400-level and above course work attempted at USC beyond the bachelor’s degree. A maximum of 4 units of Directed Research (590 or 790) may be counted toward the degree. A maximum of 4 transfer units count as credit (CR) toward the master’s degree and are not computed in the grade point average.
