Accelerated Master's Track
This major offers an accelerated track to complete a major in Cybersecurity (B.S.) and a Master of Science (MS), with a concentration in Cybersecurity.
Students requesting admission into the Master of Science program in Cybersecurity will typically be expected to earn at least a grade of “B” in graduate-level coursework taken in AMT courses and a minimum overall cumulative undergraduate Bachelor’s GPA of 3.0.

Two graduate-level courses must be taken during the student’s undergraduate junior or senior year.
These courses, which will count toward both the student’s B.S. and M.S. requirements, are:

GI 510: Introduction to Information Assurance
GI 511: Management of Information Assurance

A candidate for the accelerated master's track will typically self-identify or be invited by an advisor/professor/director upon becoming a student in the online degree-completion program.

Requirements

A letter of intent
Two letters of recommendation from faculty, and
A resume

The required application documents should be submitted to the program School (CGCS-Technology Programs) typically no later than the second term of the student’s participation in the Cybersecurity program. These items are similar to those used to seek admittance to the Master of Science, Cybersecurity program.
Upon acceptance by the Director of the Technology Programs at the College of Graduate and Continuing
Studies, an approved student may submit a request to enroll in the required CGCS courses. Those who
receive approval and register for the courses must still meet graduate program standards.
