Program eligibility requirements
Upon admission to the university, students intending to pursue a Bachelor of Science in Cybersecurity will be granted pre-major status and assigned an academic advisor from the College of Sciences.
To be formally accepted into the Cybersecurity major, students must submit an Undergraduate Program Declaration Form after meeting the following criteria:
- Achieve a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.5 in ICS 265 and MATH 215, or their approved transfer equivalents;
- Earn a grade of C- or higher in all major prerequisite courses;
- Successfully complete the General Education Goal I Writing Requirement; and
- Demonstrate competency in the C programming language, either through relevant coursework (e.g., ICS 265) or by passing a departmental C Programming Competency Exam.
Students with pre-major status are not eligible to enroll in 400-level courses within the Cybersecurity major. The Computer Science and Cybersecurity (CSC) Department is responsible for the official admission of students into the major, as well as the evaluation of transfer coursework for equivalency and eligibility.
