NOTE - CSC 142 and CSC 144 are mutual co-requisite courses that a student needs to take simultaneously. However, students who transfer in the equivalent of CSC 144 will not be required to take 142, and will have one additional elective credit to complete. 

Cybersecurity Elective: Choose from SFE 364, 365, 366, 471, or other security elective approved by Program Director or Department Chair.

SFE/CSC Elective: Choose from any CSC, EGR, MEC or SFE 2xx or above. Requires advisor approval.

Probability and Statistics Elective: Choose from MTH 204, MTH 401, or ECO 212.

Math/Science Elective: Any MTH course that extends a required MTH course (e.g., as a prerequisite) or any natural science course (e.g., BIO, CHM, GEL, PHY). Requires advisor approval.
