Our undergraduate degree Bachelor of Science in Computer Science has a strong emphasis on developing programming skills in the areas of general computer science, computer technology, interactive multimedia (game design) and artificial intelligence in data science.
For students interested in cyber security, our B.S. in Cyber Systems Technology prepares students to pursue a profession in companies and other organizations where installation, monitoring, support, analysis, security, troubleshooting and management of local and wide area networks are needed.
A partnership between EKU and the Kentucky State Police (KSP) provides our students seeking a Bachelor in Digital Forensics and Cybersecurity with the unique opportunity to work directly with a KSP sergeant and full-time forensic examiners in the Digital Forensics Satellite Lab. This hands-on experience helps to prepare students for employment opportunities in these areas.

B.S. in Cyber Systems Technology
This program prepares students to serve in a wide range of companies and other organizations where installation, monitoring, support, 
analysis, security, troubleshooting and management of Local Area Networks (LANs), Wide Area Networks (WANs) and Internet systems are required, as well as interfacing with Internet of Things (IoT) technologies. Accredited by the Association of Technology, Management, and Applied Engineering (ATMAE), our programs meet established qualifications and educational standards to provide quality programs. (Programs accredited by ATMAE)
Network Security and Electronics Concentration
This concentration provides coursework related to electronics systems, advanced computer networking topics including security, and supporting themes in computer software and the sciences. Consult our curriculum planner to see what classes are required for this concentration.
Tech Systems Concentration
This concentration is recommended for transfer students and offers a flexible schedule with technical electives. Consult our curriculum planner to see what classes are required for this concentration.
B.S. in Digital Forensics and Cybersecurity
Students in the Digital Forensics and Cybersecurity program learn and develop knowledge and skills to become qualified professionals who are capable of defending cyber networks, fast responding to cybersecurity incidents, as well as examining digital devices such as computers, mobile electronic devices and network devices to collect digital evidence that can be used in a court of trial for a criminal or civil case. Consult our curriculum planner to see what classes are required for this program. (Program accredited by FEPAC)
B.S. in Management Information Systems
The Management Information systems program is specifically designed for students who wish to work in business IT departments, focusing on the business application of computer technology. It specifically does not require advanced mathematics courses, such as calculus and is not heavily focused on computer programming. The program is designed to be combined with a business minor, but students may also choose to minor in another complimentary area such as Cyber Security and Intelligence, Informatics, or Computer Electronics Technology in order to personalize the program. To find out if this major is for you, visit https://www.eku.edu/csit/bs-mis/ for more information.
Accelerated 3+2 Dual Degree Program
B.S. in Cyber Systems Technology and M.S. in Technology Management
Students accepted to the 3+2 Accelerated Dual Degree option are able to complete their B.S. degree and M.S. degree within 5 calendar years because of the accelerated curriculum and because 9 semester hours of graduate coursework will apply to both the undergraduate B.S. degree and the graduate M.S. degree. Only undergraduate students of proven academic ability will be considered for the program. Students should be aware that, in order to maintain their progress in the accelerated 3+2 program, careful coordination with their advisor is required. Depending upon undergraduate progress at the time of 3+2 admission, some summer-school classes may be needed. Consult our curriculum guides (Network Security and Electronics Concentration or Tech Systems Concentration) to see what classes are required for this program.
