Graduation Requirement for the Cybersecurity Major
Candidates for the Bachelor of Science in Cybersecurity are required to complete a Major Field Test (MFT) in computer science in order to be eligible for graduation. The Testing Center administers the MFT each semester. A student is eligible to take the MFT upon completion of all required computer science credits or during the semester immediately prior to graduation. The exam score has no bearing on GPA, but will be part of the student’s record.
* No more than 6 hours of the specified Border Security courses are allowed to count towards the 12 hours of Cyber Electives; however, additional Border Security courses may be taken to satisfy the required 19-20 hours of electives.
