Program Description
The combined B.S..in Information Technology and Cybersecurity & M.S. in Computer Science program allows students to earn a B.S. in Information Technology and Cybersecurity and an M.S. in Computer Science in a total of 5 years. Up to nine (9) semester credit hours of graduate electives at the CS/CEG 6000/7000 may be double-counted and applied to both the B.S. and the M.S degree requirements.
Admission Requirements
- Full-time student
- Information Technology and Cybersecurity major
- Have between 60 and 90 credit hours toward your degree
- Minimum cumulative GPA of 3.2
- Overall GPA in Computer Science and Engineering courses of at least 3.2
Complete the admission application.
Once admitted to the program the student must complete a program of study for the M.S. in Computer Science.
Program Learning Outcomes
As a result of their learning experience, students who complete the Bachelor of Science Program in Information Technology and Cybersecurity can:
- Apply knowledge of computing and mathematics appropriate to the program’s student outcomes and to the discipline.
- Analyze a problem, and identify and define the computing requirements appropriate to its solution.
- Design, implement, and evaluate a computer-based system, process, component, or program to meet desired needs.
- Function effectively on teams to accomplish a common goal.
- Describe the professional, ethical, legal, security, and social issues and responsibilities involved with information technology and cybersecurity.
- Communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
- Analyze the local and global impact of computing on individuals, organizations, and society.
- Recognize the need for and an ability to engage in continuing professional development.
- Use current techniques, skills, and tools necessary for computing practice.
- Use and apply current technical concepts and practices in the core information technologies of human computer interaction, information management, programming, networking, and web systems and technologies.
- Identify and analyze user needs and take them into account in the selection, creation, evaluation, and administration of computer-based systems.
- Effectively integrate IT-based solutions into the user environment.
- Demonstrate best practices and standards and their application.
- Assist in the creation of an effective project plan.
As a result of their learning experience, graduates of the Master of Science Program in Computer Science can:
- Apply abstract reasoning to complex problems in computer science, and
- Solve a broad range of problems through the application of current computer science techniques.
