SF 2753 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Cybersecurity offering as an applied doctoral degree authorization provision

SF 2753 would allow Minnesota state universities to offer cybersecurity as an applied doctoral degree. The bill amends Minnesota Statutes to add "cybersecurity" to the list of fields (currently including education, business, and nursing) where such degrees can be authorized. This change directly affects state universities seeking to establish new doctoral programs in cybersecurity, providing them with statutory permission to do so. The bill makes a specific policy adjustment to degree authorization rules without altering funding or other program requirements.
