About the course

The Master of Science in Cybersecurity degree program requires 32 credit hours of coursework (including a 5 credit practicum project course), Two of the core courses, which students in each specialization will take, will provide a broad overview of technology and policy dimensions of cybersecurity. Students are required to take a third core course that comes from one of the other specializations, e.g., a policy specialization student must take a course from the cyber-physical or information security track. Finally, a practicum project (5 credit hours) with common learning objectives across all participating units will be a core requirement. Each participating unit will decide required and elective courses for the MS Cybersecurity degree specialization offered by it (a total of 18 credit hours). These requirements have been defined by the participating units and are described in the next section.

　　Although all three participating schools will offer a single degree, MS Cybersecurity, the focus of the degree will depend on the specialization defined by the offering unit. In particular, each unit will offer the following specializations for the MS degree in Cybersecurity.
