Requirements Regarding the Master's Degree
Requirements for Enrollment in Graduate Courses
Graduate courses are open to everyone who, in the opinion of the Associate Dean for Graduate Studies and the department concerned, is qualified by education and experience to benefit from them. Where specific courses are listed as prerequisites, equivalent knowledge or experience may be accepted instead...
Requirements for the Master's Degree Academic Standards
Each candidate for a master’s degree must complete at least 30 credits as approved by the department and the Dean. Some students may be required to complete satisfactorily more than 30 credits because of a lack of specific courses or inadequate preparation in a particular area of study. No course may be credited toward a degree unless specifically approved for that purpose...
Advanced Certificates in Special Topics
The Grove School of Engineering offers 12 credit (4 course) programs leading to Advanced Certificates in Special Topics. These programs are organized for degreed practicing engineers who may be entering disciplines requiring knowledge beyond their previous education, and for which they wish to prepare in a short time. Acceptable undergraduate preparation is, of course, required to enter the program.
An Advanced Certificate in Special Topics is awarded by the Grove School of Engineering on satisfactory completion of the course work (minimum GPA of 3.00). While subject to enrollment, it is expected that a sufficient number of classes will be offered each term so that the certificate work can be completed in 2 semesters.
Graduate Citation
Master’s graduates who have attained a GPA of 3.75 or better for the required 30 credits (taken at City University) will receive the Grove School of Engineering Graduate Citation.
The Program Overview of the Cybersecurity
As a key component of New York City’s plan to develop a pipeline of quality tech talent for local employers, City College is joining with the New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) to build a Cybersecurity Master’s Degree Program in collaboration with private sector and government partners. This program is part of the broader Cyber NYC initiative, a public-private partnership created to establish New York City as the global leader in cybersecurity. At City College, the goal is to develop an industry-informed curriculum that will provide students with the practical skills required for professional success, and to integrate classroom learning with internships and other industry-supported events such as Cyberwar Week, hackathons, and speaking/networking events. As part of the curricular development, private sector partners will collaborate with City College faculty to build elective courses for the Cybersecurity Master’s Program that address current needs in the field and provide key job skills...
