Why this program is listed

Named Cybersecurity concentration in the MSIT, but its required courses could not be verified (catalog behind a bot challenge). Included by the owner (bulk decision, 12 October 2026).

The MSIT page names concentrations in Cybersecurity and Data Science; the concentration's required courses are listed only in the catalog, which could not be fetched.
