Courses

Courses for this program are 100% online: no campus visits are required. Some online courses are synchronous. This means class lectures occur at certain times of the day/week and require the student to attend via online collaborative tools.

Successful completion of the program requires 123 credit hours of course work, which may include transfer credits from other regionally accredited institutions.

In addition to the 33 credit hours of core required course work, the BS cybersecurity degree with information systems emphasis requires 75 credit hours of emphasis specific course work (48 general business + 27 program specific). Thus, candidates for the BS in cybersecurity degree with information systems emphasis must complete a program of 108 (33 core + 75 emphasis specific) credit hours of required courses.

For the information systems emphasis, all general degree requirements from the College of Business Administration apply.  

Transfer students

The admissions office will determine your transfer credit once they receive your official transcripts and application.
