Undergraduate
Accelerated Degree Pathway MS in Cybersecurity New
The best way to pursue one of our graduate programs is through the accelerated degree pathway. The accelerated degree pathway allows for undergraduate level students to start working towards their Master’s in Computer Science (MS-CS), MS in Cybersecurity, MS in Telecommunications & Networking or Master’s in Data Science (MS-DS)before having completed their bachelor’s degree. Students who qualify for the accelerated degree pathway will be able to complete their bachelors while having 1/3 of their masters completed at the same time. The program not only helps students save money, but also time.
Combined BS in Information Technology/MS In Engineering Management Pathway
Students who pursue a BS degree and are approaching their first semester of the senior year in Information Technology and have earned at least a 3.2 overall GPA may, upon recommendation from three faculty members, apply to the department to enroll in the combined BSIT/MSEM pathway. Students must also submit an online application to the University Graduate School for admission to the MSEM program. In addition to the admission requirements of the MSEM program, students must meet all the admission requirements of the University Graduate School.
Second Major in Information Technology (BA)
The Knight Foundation School of Computing and Information Sciences offers a Bachelor of Arts degree in Information Technology as a second major. This program is open to those students who are enrolled in and will be completing another Bachelor’s degree program or those who already have a Bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution. Computer Science and Computer Engineering are not accepted as the primary major.
Information Technology (B.S.) – Software Track
The Knight Foundation School of Computing and Information Sciences offers a Bachelor of Science degree in Information Technology as a single major with a strong foundation in the theory of Computer Science.

Minor in Computer Science
A minor program is an arrangement of courses enabling a student to develop a degree of expertise and knowledge in an area of study in addition to his or her major academic program of study. A student with a major that has a significant overlap with Computer Science must first obtain permission from a CS adviser.
Accelerated Degree Pathway BS in Computer Science/MS in Engineering Management
Students who pursue a BS degree and are approaching their senior year in Computer Science and have earned at least a 3.2 overall GPA may, upon recommendation from three faculty members, apply to the department to enroll in the combined BSCS/MSEM pathway. Students must also submit an online application to the University Graduate School for admission to the MSEM program. In addition to the admission requirements of the MSEM program, students must meet all the admission requirements of the University Graduate School.
Data Science Accelerated Degree Pathway
With their advisor’s approval, students from all undergraduate majors including Computer Science, Information Technology, Information Systems, and Biostatistics may apply to the Data Science Accelerated Degree Pathway. If accepted, students will be allowed to take up to 12 credits of graduate data science courses which will apply towards both their undergraduate degree requirements and the master’s degree program in data science.
Accelerated Degree Pathway BS/MS in Computer Science
Students interested in pursuing the combined BS/MS in Computer Science pathway should first consult the Graduate Program Advisor. Students can submit the application online by logging into your MyFIU student portal and selecting the Admission Tile, then selecting the Accelerated Pathways App. Students selected for admission will be notified via email. Students should not begin taking graduate-level courses until they have been formally notified of their acceptance and their admission term has begun.
