MS Opportunities at PennWest

PennWest offers a Professional Masters in Cybersecurity. As an undergraduate you can enroll in this and take some courses that count for both. If you are interested, please discuss this with your advisor.

This is also available in the Data Science and Analytics MS

In order to apply to the accelerated program, students must have at least junior standing. If they apply and are accepted, they are then able to enroll in up to 4 master's courses, while still an undergraduate. These courses will count towards both their undergraduate and graduate degree, but they only pay undergraduate tuition for the courses.

If a student is unsure if they actually want to pursue the graduate degree, they can still apply for the accelerated program and simply choose not to finish it upon graduation of their undergraduate degree. They may even end up getting a job where the employer will pay for them to complete the degree.
