Why this program is listed
MBA 'with Cybersecurity Administration Certificate'; the elective section says any 500-level college course is acceptable, so required cybersecurity coursework is unclear. Included by the owner (bulk decision, 12 October 2026).
Online MBA paired with the Cybersecurity Administration certificate; listed electives include Cybersecurity Management and Compliance and Legal Issues in Cybersecurity, but the elective rule also allows any 500-level college course.
