Miami, March 30, 2021 – In an ongoing effort to expand post-graduate opportunities for students, Miami Dade College (MDC) and Nova Southeastern University (NSU) established a new “4+1” articulation agreement that allows MDC graduates with a bachelor’s degree in cybersecurity to seamlessly transfer to a master’s degree at NSU with a special tuition discount.
“We are very excited to provide a pathway to our bachelor’s in cybersecurity graduates to one of the strongest master’s program in the region,” said Antonio Delgado, dean of engineering, technology and design at MDC. “This collaboration will help close the gap that currently exist in cybersecurity.”
The agreement provides assurance that students graduating from MDC’s School of Engineering and Technology with a Bachelor of Science in Cybersecurity with a grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 or higher, become qualified for admission into the Master of Science in Cybersecurity Management at NSU’s College of Computing and Engineering. Additionally, MDC graduates enrolled in the Master of Science in Cybersecurity Management program will receive a 10 percent discount of tuition.
“At NSU, we recognize the demand for cybersecurity professionals and embrace the opportunity to support a strong diverse talent pool,” said Meline Kevorkian, dean of the College for Computing and Engineering at NSU.
