Undergraduate students accepted to undertake the Cybersecurity Accelerated Master’s option will take graduate courses from the Cybersecurity M.S. program which will count both toward undergraduate elective requirements as well as the Cybersecurity M.S. requirements. Students will be able to transfer up to twelve credits from the Cybersecurity graduate classes they took during the undergraduate degree at City College. The graduate courses cannot replace any core courses required by the undergraduate major, but rather will replace Elective courses. If a student chooses any of the core Cybersecurity courses as one of the elective courses, they will need to earn at least a B grade in the class in order to progress to the master’s degree program. Students must maintain at least a 3.0 GPA in order to pursue the Cybersecurity Accelerated Master’s option.

City College undergraduate majors in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, and Electrical Engineering may apply for the Cybersecurity Accelerated Master’s option. In order to undertake the Cybersecurity Accelerated Master’s option, students must have completed a minimum of 75 credits at the time of application (at least 30 credits must be from City College) in addition to having achieved a minimum City College GPA of 3.0. Students must submit the same supporting application materials as the other master’s program candidates—two faculty letters of recommendation, Statement of Purpose, Personal Statement, official transcripts, and resume/CV.
