Bachelor of Science in Cybersecurity

The Bachelor of Science in Cybersecurity is designed to educate future professionals who can design, implement, secure, and govern resilient computing systems in an increasingly interconnected and threat-intensive digital environment. The program prepares graduates with strong foundations in computer science, mathematics, and engineering principles, combined with advanced, practice-oriented cybersecurity competencies spanning systems security, data and information security, network security, digital forensics, and AI-enabled security solutions.

The program mirrors academically equivalent coursework from the BS in Computer Science with a Cybersecurity focus and closely aligned cybersecurity offerings within the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering at Arizona State University (ASU).

Two Degrees instead of one: 4+1 Program

Earn Your Bachelor’s + Accelerated Master’s in Five Years.

The Cybersecurity program offers a 4+1 Dual Degree Pathway in partnership with the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering at ASU .

This pathway allows students to complete four years of undergraduate study at AUT, followed by one year at ASU (online or on campus in Arizona) earning both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in just five years.*

Students choosing the on-campus option may apply for OPT, allowing eligible graduates to work legally in the United States for up to three years (depending on program eligibility).

You Graduate With:

Bachelor of Science in Cybersecurity from AUT, Uzbekistan
Master of Science in Computer Science (Cybersecurity) from ASU, United States

*Final year at ASU eligibility depends on successful credit transfer and approval by Arizona State University. Program details may vary based on academic progress.
