This program allows a student to earn a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Computer Science and a Master of Science (M.S.) in Cybersecurity in five years. Students in this program must satisfy all requirements of the Computer Science major, except that they:
| Take | Instead of | |
|---|---|---|
| CSC 8301 - Design and Analysis of Algorithms | CSC 1700 - Analysis of Algorithms | |
| CSC 8490 - Database Systems | CSC 4480 - Principles of Database Systems |
and must take CSC 4900 - Computer Networks, or ECE 4470 - Computer Networks, as one of the electives.
Participants can also use a third graduate course to fulfill an elective for both degrees. Any approved elective for the M.S. degree can be used for this purpose. These substitutions give the student a head start on satisfying the remaining M.S. Cybersecurity degree requirements.
To be eligible for these programs, students must have strong academic credentials: a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of at least 3.0 and a GPA of at least 3.5 in the major. The GRE exam is waived.
