About the program

Two Master’s Degrees Instead of One: 1+1 Pathway

Students pursuing their Master of Science in Cybersecurity from AUT have the unique opportunity to participate in the 1+1 pathway at Arizona State University (ASU) to earn two master’s degrees: one from Uzbekistan and one from the U.S.

Degree Pathway with ASU: How It Works

Start your master’s degree in Cybersecurity at AUT and transfer a portion of your AUT credits toward an additional master’s degree from the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering at ASU (online or on campus in the U.S.), graduating with two master’s degrees in just two years.*

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

Upon successful completion of the 1+1 pathway, you graduate with two master’s degrees:

· Master of Science in Cybersecurity from American University of Technology

· Master of Science in Computer Science (Cybersecurity) from Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering at Arizona State University, United States

*Program details may vary based on academic progress and successful credit transfer and approval by each university. Students participating in the 1+1 pathway must work with their program director at AUT to ensure that credits earned at ASU meet master’s degree requirements at AUT
