Undergraduate Degree Programs
Our undergraduate degree (B.S.) program 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.
A partnership between EKU and the Kentucky State Police (KSP) provides our students seeking a B.S. degree 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 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)
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. Our curriculum guide (below)
can help you begin to plan your program.
