Description
The master's in cybersecurity gives you an understanding of the technological and ethical roles of computing security in today's society and its importance across computing disciplines. This degree aims to prepare you to meet the critical demand of building security and survivability into the hardware and software of computing systems as they are designed and developed, rather than adding it on once systems have been designed, developed, and installed. This master’s degree enables you to develop a strong theoretical and practical foundation in security computing, preparing you for leadership positions in the cybersecurity industry, academia, or research careers, or to pursue a more advanced degree in cybersecurity or another computing discipline. The degree consists of core courses, technical electives, and a thesis, project, or capstone experience. You can develop a specialization in one of several cybersecurity-related areas by selecting technical electives under the guidance of a faculty advisor.
