Current Complex Systems Degrees Consulted
In creating this CDP, I consulted many sources. The University of Michigan has an undergraduate Custom Degree Program in complex systems. The following is taken from its program (http://www.cscs.umich.edu/education/undergrad/major/html):
"In general, for an ICP, a student needs 30 credit hours at 300 level or above. For a major in CSS, a student should take curses that supply:
