Why this program is listed
Formal concentration, but only two concentration courses plus one major course are security-specific; cybersecurity depth may be insufficient. Included by the owner (bulk decision, 12 October 2026).
Named concentration with two required courses (business data communications; information security planning and management) on top of the major's introduction to information security; the remaining concentration hours are general IS electives.
