Limitations
- Tuition, credit hours and admission prerequisites were not on the page we read, so this entry is a pointer rather than a specification.
- The CAE-CD designation is stated as running through academic year 2027; confirm renewal before enrolling on the strength of it.
- A combined forensics-and-cybersecurity degree covers less forensics than a dedicated one.
- Spread across three campuses, which can mean course availability varies by location.
