A grade of C or better is required for all pre-professional courses (see program requirements) and for all prerequites to all CIS courses taken. In addition, to graduate with a B.S. in Cybersecurity, students must have at least a 2.3 GPA in all classes at the 400 level or above taken for undergraduate credit from the Carl R. Ice College of Engineering at Kansas State University. Course grades that have been removed by the K-State Retake policy will not apply to this GPA calculation.
In the curriculum requirements listed below, courses prefixed with an "*" require a C or better, either because they are pre-professional courses or because they are prerequisites to other required courses.
