The Accelerated BS in Computer Science to MS program in Cyber Security and Privacy (Technical Track only) allows highly qualified UCF undergraduate majors in Computer Science (CS) to take graduate-level courses that will count toward their MS degree while completing their BS degree program. Up to nine (9) credit hours of 5000- and 6000-level courses with a grade of "B" (3.0) or better may be counted toward the accelerated BS to MS program. Two additional requirements for the students in this program are:
- Students must earn at least a "B" (3.0) in each undergraduate- or graduate-level course counted for the program.
- Students must opt for this program no later than the beginning of their junior year.
