Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: All Programs (By Degree)

Program Overview

The School of Computer and Cyber Sciences (SCCS) proposes an accelerated BS/MS in Cybersecurity Engineering/Computer Science for students who are motivated to get both a BS in Cybersecurity Engineering and an MS in Computer Science in five years and be ready for the continuously growing job market or undertake research at the intersection of Cybersecurity and Computer Science. This option will allow students majoring in Cybersecurity Engineering, who meet certain criteria, the opportunity to apply 9 credit hours of graduate Computer Science courses to both the 129 undergraduate degree required hours and the 30 MS degree required hours. This option provides a great opportunity for Augusta University to increase undergraduate enrollment in Cybersecurity Engineering and graduate enrollment in the Master’s degree program in Computer Science.  This option is also an opportunity for recruiting and retaining excellent undergraduate students through the pipeline of getting both BS and MS in a shorter time (5 years versus 6 years).
