Required Courses
Elective Courses
The * next to any of the following courses indicates that the course is available to online students
Internship
In addition to program coursework, students are expected to complete a minimum of 6 credit hours of internship. The internship experience provides real-world training in preparation for a career. We're very flexible about the form the internship can take (project at a startup, academic institution, non-profit, intelligence agency, etc.).
The internship requirement can be met at any point during the program, though we typically suggest waiting until finishing the first academic year (in the summer for in-person students, or after the summer for online students).
