Cybersecurity permitted to be offered as an applied doctoral degree.

HF 2610 would allow Minnesota state universities to offer an applied doctoral degree in cybersecurity. This bill amends Minnesota Statutes section 135A.052 by adding "cybersecurity" to the list of fields where state universities may grant such degrees. It directly affects Minnesota's public universities, enabling them to develop new doctoral programs in this field. The change is limited to the statutory authorization for degree offerings and does not alter funding or program requirements.
