The Bachelor’s to Cybersecurity Master’s Fast Track Program option allows qualified undergraduates to complete the graduate Master of Science in Cybersecurity (MSCY) program in just one year rather than 18 months to two years. Students from all majors can apply, although some majors may need to complete additional foundational computer science courses first. The student can take up to twelve graduate hours as an undergraduate that will count toward the master’s program, nine of which can also count towards the undergraduate degree.

Once a student has reached senior status by completing at least 75 credit hours, has completed the courses:

Course List

Code	Title	Hours
CPSC 21000	Programming Fundamentals	3
CPSC 28100	Introduction to Networks	3
CPSC 30000	Computer Organization	3
CPSC 35000	Operating Systems	3

and has achieved a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0, they may be considered for entry into the Fast Track program. To be considered, the student must complete the Fast Track application. Accepted students can then take up to twelve credit hours of graduate coursework in the MSCY curriculum as an undergraduate. If the student earns a "B" or better in a graduate course they take as part of the Fast Track program, the course will count towards their MSCY requirements.
