  At least 30 credit hours of undergraduate or graduate courses in management, accounting, information systems, economics, STEM discipline, or a combination thereof;

Advisement and Plan of Study

Advisement prior to first-semester enrollment and a formal plan of study is mandatory. A faculty advisor or committee works cooperatively with each admission candidate to develop and approve a plan that includes specific courses that match the student’s intended career path, complements his or her bachelor's degree and work experience, and ensures that each program graduate reflects positively on UNM, Anderson School of Management, and the M.S. in Cybersecurity and Business Analytics program. Modifications to the initial plan of study may be requested by the student at any time, but must be approved by the faculty advisor or committee. Each approved plan is a student-specific set of courses that must be successfully completed for that student to graduate.
