Full Admission
Applicants must have a bachelor's degree, GPA of 3.0 or better, in engineering, computer science, applied mathematics, or physics from an accredited institution.
Provisional Admission
Applicants must have a degree, GPA of 3.0 or better, in a closely related field of study, such as information technology, information assurance, and computer information systems and must also possess at least one of the following certifications:
- CompTIA Security+

Applicants admitted with provisional admission are required to earn a "B" or better in their first two to four courses.
Non-Degree-Seeking (GRAD) Student Admission
Applicants must have a bachelor’s degree, GPA of 3.0 or better, in other fields of study closely related to information technology, information assurance, or computer information systems, one of the above mentioned certifications, and at least two years of post-graduate work experience in IT or a related field. To qualify for this admission, applicants must submit a detailed description of their technical work experience as a personal statement attached to the Supplementary Application section of the application. This option is based on an individual's application.
Applicants admitted as non-degree-seeking students will need to complete two core courses with at least a B or better in each course in order to be considered for provisional admission later.
