The Bachelor of Science in Cybersecurity is a fully online degree that hasthe primary objective of meeting the high demand for professional degreesin the area of cybersecurity. The degree has core requirements, majorrequirements, major specilizations, and required electives. The majorcontains those courses considered fundamental to the cybersecurity fieldand the electives give the student some flexibility in choice.

Admission Criteria

All students must meet the admission requirements for freshmen and/ortransfer students as determined by KSU as documented athttp://admissions.kennesaw.edu/. Admission to the University will require a2.5 GPA in 17 units of required high school coursework as recalculated byKennesaw State as well as a minima score requirements for Freshmen andTransfer Freshmen must score an SAT Total Score on 1600 Scale: 1030AND SAT Reading Test Score: 25 AND SAT Math Section Score: 490 orACT Composite score of 20 AND ACT English subscore of 18 AND ACTMath subscore of 18. Other categories of admission have differingrequirements as published at http://admissions.kennesaw.edu/. All students must meet the graduation requirements for undergraduatestudents as determined by KSU and also complete all Major courserequirements with a grade of ‘C’ or better.

The proposed B.S. in Cybersecurity eMajor will be housed in the Institute ofCybersecurity Workforce Development at the University. This degree isintended to be an access degree, enabling a much broader set of optionsenabling the use of articulation agreements with the technical collegesystem and eCore affiliates across the State of Georgia.

Admission to the BSCYBR degree program eMajor will be open to anystudent who has completed (or is scheduled to complete) the GeneralEducation and Area F – Lower Division Major Requirements through anyrecognized and transferrable method. That includes transfer of credit fromother Institutions (following KSU policies for transfer of credit), eCorecourses documented by KSU, KSU courses taken on campus as well asKSU online courses. Once accepted as into the eMajor BSCYBR, studentswill be eligible to register for courses offered at the eMajor tuition rate.

ProgramDescription



The purpose of the Bachelor of Science in Cybersecurity (BSCYBR)program is to create technologically capable, businessaware cybersecurityprofessionals capable of applying technical skills and the knowledge ofsecurity management to protect computerized information systems from awide variety of of threats, and to manage the risks associated with moderninformation technology usage. Cybersecurity is a computingbaseddiscipline involving technology, people, information, and processes toenable assured operations. It involves the creation, operation, analysis, andtesting of secure computer systems. It is an interdisciplinary course ofstudy, including aspects of information technology, law, policy, humanfactors, ethics, and risk management often in the context of adversaries.

The Department of Homeland Security and the National Security Agencyhave jointly designated Kennesaw State University as a National Center ofAcademic Excellence in Cyber Defense Education with specialized focusareas in Security Policy Development & Compliance and Systems SecurityAdministration.

The Institute for Cybersecurity workforce development requires that BSCYBR candidates must earn a grade of "C" or better in all upper divisioncourses in order to be counted toward their degree.

Required Attachements

PROGRAM PROSPECTUS

Purpose of the prospectus:

A program prospectus is the initial submission of a potential degree and/or major that isconsistent with the institution’s mission and that the institution deems a priority. Theprospectus is designed to allow institutions to submit program ideas for feedback withoutexpending substantial resources toward the development of a full new program proposal.

The primary purpose of the prospectus is to “make the case” for submitting a formalproposal for the new program. There are three key criteria that should be addressed in theprospectus: 1) Justification of Need; 2) Demand; and 3) NonDuplication. The prospectusrequires institutions to provide clear evidence of how a proposed degree and/or majormeets need, demand, and does not lead to unnecessary program duplication in theUniversity System. All prospectuses are expected to include data or evidence to supportthe need and demand for the program. Of course, the stronger the evidence accompanyinga prospectus, the greater the likelihood the institution will be invited to submit a formalproposal.

ACADEMIC PROGRAM ASSESSMENT PLAN

Academic Program Improvement

The Academic Program Improvement (API) system was designed for faculty to moreeffectively report on assessments, analysis of those assessments and resultingimprovements to academic programs.

The API system improves efficiency by replacing the AOL and part of the CPR reportingprocesses, and by administering report reviews through established governancestructures.

Each academic program that leads to a credential (certificate or degree) will report. Eachdistinct implementation of a program (e.g., on campus, marketed and/or implemented asfully off site, or marketed and/or implemented as fully online) reports separately using datathat is disaggregated from other implementations.

Go to information on academic program assessment.
