About the Program

The US Department of Labor, along with the NJ Department of Labor, project sustained positive growth over this decade in computer jobs. They have listed the following occupations among the fastest growing occupations over the 2014-2023 period: Computer software engineers, Computer support specialists and systems administrators, Data Analysts, Computer and information system managers, Computer systems analysts, and Internet, Web and data processing services. They project that computer occupations are among the fastest growing occupations in the economy.

This program allows highly motivated students to begin taking graduate courses in their senior year, accelerating their graduate studies while still at the undergraduate level and while paying undergraduate tuition and fees. The Combined Advanced Degree BA/MS degree program allows interested and qualified students to complete the Rowan University Computer Science Department’s Bachelor of Arts in Computing & Informatics and Master of Science in Cybersecurity in a shorter time — usually in five years rather than six.
