Admission to Phase I based on:

1. Student’s academic record
2. Expected to have an overall GPA of 3.0 or higher.
3. Average of 3.5 or higher in computer science courses
4. Evaluation of the student’s Statement of Purpose as it appears on the application.
5. An interview

Admission to Phase I allows the following:

1. may take up to nine credits of graduate-level Computer Science courses (with the exception of CMSC 698, CMSC 699, CMSC 799) ·
2. Courses may be applied towards the requirements for the Bachelor’s degree.
3. Graduate courses selected in consultation with his or her faculty advisor.
4. In general, the courses selected will be used as electives in Area VI in the CMSC major.

In order to be eligible for the accelerated graduate certificate or master’s degree option, you must meet the following requirements:

1. Have a minimum undergraduate GPA of 3.0. If less than 3.0, admission consideration based on Graduate Program Director’s discretion.
2. Be a junior or senior at UMBC, and be admitted at least one semester prior to completion of bachelor’s degree.
3. Maintain good academic standing throughout the duration of undergraduate degree.
4. While most Accelerated Program students are from the College of Engineering and Information Technology (COEIT), students from outside COEIT who also have an overall GPA of 3.0 may apply via the Cybersecurity Strategy and Policy option.
5. If admitted, such students may take CYBR 620, 621, 622, and/or 623 to begin graduate cybersecurity studies while still an undergraduate student.
6. Non-COEIT students who believe they are qualified to pursue more technical cybersecurity opportunities should contact the Cybersecurity GPD to discuss their interests.

Cyber Security also offers Certificate Programs. Please find more information here

To be eligible for this program
