 | | M.S. in Cybersecurity |  |
The
MS in Cybersecurity is a credential for high-end security professionals
who seek both deep technical skills and an appreciation of the
organizational, social, management and legal aspects of security and
privacy.
Core Courses
If you have already taken courses in operating systems and/or
algorithms, then with the permission of the graduate advisor you may
substitute elective courses instead. You may also substitute an
elective for the course in discrete mathematics for cryptography, with
the permission of the graduate advisor, if you already have sufficient
mathematical background.
