Drexel University School of Engineering 162 courses
The BS/MS in Computer Engineering and Cybersecurity is an accelerated degree program that provides academically qualified students the opportunity to develop technical depth and breadth in their major and an additional complementary related area, earning two diplomas (BS and MS) within the typical duration of earning the bachelor's degree alone. The program is a natural progression from the student's undergraduate courses, with the necessary technical prerequisite understanding and skills, and prepares students for graduate-level studies. Students can still enjoy the benefits and rewards of the Drexel co-op experience while gaining research experience by working with research faculty. Salaries for students with MS degrees can be approximately 25% higher than those with BS degrees.
