- The CS with Cybersecurity Concentration 2024 study plan (PDF) is
available at link, its prerequisite flowchart can be accessed at link, and the
Core Curriculum requirements are listed here.
- The only difference between CS Major and CS Major with
Cybersecurity Concentration is the 12 CH Cybersecurity Concentration
Requirements taken instead of 12 CH CS Major Electives package.
