The non-thesis Master of Science degree requires a creative component. The normal prerequisite to major in graduate work in cyber security is the completion of undergraduate work substantially equivalent to that required of cyber security students at this university. Because of the diversification in the cyber security graduate program, however, it is possible for a student to qualify for graduate study in certain areas of cyber security even though the student’s undergraduate or prior graduate training has been in a discipline other than cyber security. Supporting work, if required, will depend on the student’s background and area of research interest. Prospective students from a discipline other than cyber security are required to submit, with the application for admission, a statement of the proposed area of graduate study..
