CISM - Experience substitution

Hello,
I have four years of valid experience for CISM, but I have read in CISM Application (Section C) "2-year waiver for an MBA or a master’s degree in Information Security/related field". So, what is related field? Does Computer Science or Mathematics are related field?

I have passed CISM exam.

    I would recommend hitting Isaca, registering for the site and then simply open chat support and ask them. You can get it from the horses mouth.

    This is taken straight from the ISACA CISM site:

    Two Years:
    • Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) in good standing
    • Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) in good standing
    • Post-graduate degree in information security or a related field (e.g., business administration, information systems, information assurance)
    Bachelor of Science: Computer Science | Hawaii Pacific University
    CISSP | CISM | CISA | CASP | SSCP | Sec+ | Net+ | A+

    By "related field", it can mean a lot of different things. I wouldn't be surprised if Mathematics and Computer Science are considered as such.

    Does your 4-year experience cover at least 3 of the 4 domains of CISM? If yes, then you should be good. Worst case is you would have to wait 1 more year which is not that long.

    "Post-graduate" does that include "High Diploma/Graduate Certificate" ? since its after the Bachelor's degree

    A graduate certificate is not a post-graduate degree. I would bet it doesn't qualify.
