- One additional business course in either economics, finance, or accounting.
- Required Information Technology Qualification Courses (minimum 3 credit hours in each of three topics, undergraduate or graduate)
- Programming Fundamentals
- Network or Data Communications
- Information Security Principles
- To waive the courses, students must earn a B grade or better in these qualification courses.
- Candidates may use certifications and work experience to substitute for some or all of the IT courses
- Below are examples of some acceptable substitutions for the three required IT courses:
- Programming language or application development certification (e.g. C/C++, Python, Java, Visual Basic, MCSD) may substitute for the programming course requirement.
- A networking certification (e.g. Network+, CCNA, CCNP) may substitute for the networking and data communication course requirements.
- A security certification (e.g. Security+, SSCP, CISA, CISM, CISSP, GIAC Security Essentials) may substitute for the information security principles course requirement.
- Professional work experience may be used as a substitute for a maximum of one of the three IT courses. The work experience must be full-time, paid, within the last ten years, directly relate to the substituted course and be verifiable. At least two years of full-time work experience is necessary to substitute for the specific course
