A Secure Future in Cybersecurity
With Nova Southeastern University’s Dual Admission program, you can earn both a bachelor's and master’s degree in Cybersecurity Management in five years. This program focuses on risk management and policies and procedures associated with organizational cybersecurity. Classes are taught by experts in the field and include experiential learning and case study analyses that help reinforce key concepts. You’ll gain both the soft and technical skills that make you stand out to hiring managers.
Program Overview
A Dual Admission program is available to qualified freshman and transfer students, allowing them to complete a combined bachelor's degree and master’s degree in a total of a five-year period (4+1).
After successfully completing a four-year undergraduate degree at NSU (see requirements chart below), students are eligible to immediately start their Master’s in Cybersecurity Management.
Eligibility
To be considered for dual admission and fill your reserved seat in graduate or professional
school, there are some requirements you must meet. Undergraduate Admission Requirements are first-time in college students and transfer students applying to earn a bachelor's
degree. Graduate Admission Requirements are the standards students need to maintain, while earning their undergraduate degree,
to remain eligible for the graduate or professional program.
Undergraduate Admission Requirements
Graduate Admission Requirements
Keep your dual admission status while you earn your bachelor’s.
Dual admission reserves your seat in NSU’s M.S. in Cybersecurity Management program but you must still complete a graduate application once you finish your bachelor’s degree.
Keep in mind that these are the basic requirements and final determination of admission into the professional program is at the discretion of the College of Computing, AI, and Cybersecurity.
Additional Requirements
College credits that were earned through advanced high school programs such as AP,
IB or college academy—or in summer coursework following high school graduation, prior
to attending NSU—may transfer to NSU.
Students who enter NSU with earned college credits through advanced high school programs
may be able to complete their degree and program requirements earlier than scheduled
and request to enter their graduate professional programs earlier as well.
Please contact your admissions representative for more details regarding high school transfer credits.
