Completing the Graduate Certificate in Quantum Computing requires 4 courses consisting of:
Laddered Pathway
Students who successfully complete the Graduate Certificate in Quantum Computing will be eligible to apply for admission to the Graduate Diploma in Quantum Computing, and, if admitted, will receive laddering credit for the 12 units of coursework completed. Students who successfully complete the Graduate Certificate and the Graduate Diploma and who are subsequently accepted into the Master of Quantum Computing (MQuaC), Laddered Pathway will be granted 24 units (12 units each for the Certificate and Diploma) of laddering credit.
There can be no more than five years between completing a credential in the laddered pathway and enrolling in the next credential.
Students completing the laddered pathway will receive a parchment for each credential earned in the pathway.
