The Master of Science in Cybersecurity Technology Program will:  

1. Prepare students with the skills and knowledge necessary to protect an organization’s critical information and assets by ethically integrating cybersecurity risk management best practices throughout an enterprise. 

2. Prepare students to understand the core foundational technology aspects of computing and computer networking including the hardware and software components of cyber infrastructure.    

3. Prepare students with the skills and competencies necessary to assess risks, vulnerabilities, and threats to cyber systems; to secure those systems from various types of potential cyber-attacks; and to prepare students to interpret and apply cyber incident response project plans. 

The curriculum is an accelerated, cohort format that follows an established sequence of courses over an 16 month period. Courses are delivered in both 7.5-week and 15-week sessions. The cohort model encourages the development of lifelong colleagues as students collaborate on group projects and discuss policy and subject matter related to the field of study.

The Cybersecurity Technology program is academically rigorous, theoretically sound, yet practically based and focuses on providing future leaders with the skills and credentials necessary to succeed in the rapidly growing field of cybertechnology in the health care professions, government agencies, educational institutions, civic, and private organizations.
