In an ongoing effort to expand post-graduate opportunities for students, Miami Dade College (MDC) and University of West Florida (UWF) established a new “4+1” articulation agreement that allows MDC graduates with a bachelor’s degree in cybersecurity to seamlessly transfer to a master’s degree in cybersecurity at UWF.
“We are very excited to expand our collaboration with UWF by providing a pathway to our bachelor’s in cybersecurity graduates to one of the strongest master’s in the region,” said Antonio Delgado, vice president of innovation and tech partnerships. “This collaboration will increase talent pipeline opportunities to help close the gap that currently exist in cybersecurity.”
The agreement assures that students graduating from MDC’s School of Engineering and Technology with a Bachelor of Science in Cybersecurity and a grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 or higher, are eligible for express admission into the Masters of Science in Cybersecurity program housed in the Hal Marcus College of Science and Engineering at UWF.
“The UWF MDC Bachelor’s-to-Master’s articulation agreement is a great opportunity to produce highly skilled individuals in areas of cybersecurity with a deep understanding of the security issues we face in software, data, business operations and our nation,” said Dr. Jaromy Kuhl, dean of the Hal Marcus College of Science and Engineering. “The agreement shows that UWF and MDC have made cybersecurity education and meeting the current workforce demands in areas of cybersecurity a priority.”
