Students may enroll in the program on a part-time basis in the evening. Thirty credit hours (ten courses) are required for graduation. Applicants must meet the general graduate admission requirements of the Graduate School. Those with bachelor’s degrees outside of cybersecurity or computer science must demonstrate significant proficiency in key areas using either prior coursework or experience. Applicants can be admitted with some deficiencies, which would need to be addressed by taking additional coursework during the first year of study. Applicants new to Computer Science are encouraged to take a few of the undergraduate courses before reapplying.
Students can group elective courses of interest and earn one of the available certificates with or without extra coursework.
