About Overlap
Overlap for UNC: Structural Intelligence for Academic Pathways
Overlap redefines how students and institutions understand degree planning.
Instead of treating majors, double majors, and general education requirements as disconnected checklists, it organizes required course structures into a unified JSON-based system and analyzes where they intersect. The result is a clearer view of how programs overlap, where redundancies exist, and how students can move through academic pathways more efficiently.
It’s academic planning with structural visibility.
By holding major requirements, course sequences, and general education credits in a machine-readable format, Overlap makes it possible to model the relationships between programs at scale. This allows students and advisors to see where double majors naturally align, which requirements can satisfy multiple pathways, and where unnecessary friction may be slowing progress.
For universities managing complex curricula, Overlap delivers clarity and precision.
It bridges institutional data with intelligent analysis — transforming static degree requirements into a dynamic system that reveals overlap across majors, minors, and general education frameworks. Whether supporting advising, curriculum design, or student planning, Overlap helps surface more efficient academic routes while preserving transparency and control.
Built for the future of academic infrastructure.
Overlap represents Solis Consulting’s vision for smarter educational systems — a platform where curriculum data becomes actionable intelligence. It’s not just a planning tool; it’s a structural layer for understanding how academic programs connect, helping universities and students navigate complexity with greater confidence.
