What you'lll learn in the Cybersecurity curriculum

We’ve structured our curriculum so that you start the online master’s program in cybersecurity with either core or bridge courses, depending on your background. All of our courses can help you develop technical, leadership and critical thinking skills.

The technical courses focus on the hands-on practice of protecting systems and networks against digital attacks. If you’re coming into the world of cybersecurity from a nontraditional background, your path will start with bridge courses to gain a firm foundation in computer science. Next, all students will learn to identify, formulate, analyze and solve complex computing or engineering problems by applying principles of computing, engineering, science and mathematics.

The leadership courses deliver the knowledge, insight and training to create a generation of cyber leaders prepared to embed security in every level of a company’s operations. Our courses prepare you to analyze and tackle threats while playing a vital role in an organization’s structure.
