QSS is a highly individualized major that culminates in a year-long research project. A student who chooses to major in QSS will be able to draw on courses throughout the college. QSS majors may take many of the same courses and work with the same academic advisors as do students who major in traditional departments, but in QSS each student works under flexible rules and requirements that are designed for honors students who seek challenges and take initiative. A student considering a QSS major is advised to set up an introductory meeting with the QSS Chair to discuss the Program and course options.
