Offered in: Chicago

The Cyber Security Bridge program is for students who have already completed their undergraduate education but did not complete the necessary sequence of courses required for admission in the MS in Cyber Security.  This 3-course (9 hour) Cyber Security bridge program allows students to fulfill these prerequisites in a very streamlined fashion.

All classes for this certificate will be offered online and all requirements can be completed as rapidly as a single year.

Requirements

To earn the Cyber Security Bridge Program certificate, students must complete all required course work with a grade of C- or better.

Because of the rapidly changing nature of this field of study, computing courses taken more than eight years ago cannot be counted towards degree requirements unless the student has been continuously registered since the time the course was taken (excluding summers). 

The student will take the following three courses in the Cyber Security Bridge Program.  Note that these courses will be taken in preparation for the MS in Cyber Security and Information Assurance Program and will not count as credit in the MS in Cyber Security and Information Assurance program.  Some of the courses may be waived if the student has met these course requirements elsewhere.
