6 of Science in Management, Master of Science in Management Information Systems (MMIS), or Master of Science in Information Security and Assurance (MSISA) degree programs in five academic years. Students who are accepted in the 4 + 1 program, spend three academic years in undergraduate-level study and then, during their senior year, will take up to three graduate-level courses that will meet the undergraduate 400 level elective and graduate program core requirements (when a B grade or better is achieved). Upon completion of the BSTM requirements, students will be enrolled in graduate school and can complete their degree in one year. In any graduate course taken by an undergraduate student, a grade of B or better must be earned. If a grade of C or F is earned in any of the courses taken in lieu of 400 level elective credits, the student will be removed from the program and may continue to complete the BSTM degree only.
