Master of Science in Cybersecurity

The Cybersecurity Master of Science degree program builds cogently on the body of knowledge associated with the protection of networks, communication channels and information, and incorporates a set of core competencies in both technology and business as they relate to planning, implementing and managing system- and enterprise-level security. This program is targeted for students who have bachelor’s degrees in information technology, computer science, and network and software engineering, as well as others who have earned bachelor’s degrees in fields outside these areas but need the graduate-level degree to advance professionally. All students must complete a capstone project.

Upon completion of the program, graduates are expected to:

  • Research, establish and apply strategies and solutions that demonstrate an understanding of security foundations and the practical applications in the information security/assurance field.
  • Integrate information security solutions through the alignment of appropriate security methodologies to different security situations.
  • Develop system security contingency plans and disaster recovery procedures.
  • Propose and test policies and procedures to ensure information systems reliability and availability and the prevention of unauthorized access.
  • Effectively communicate information security assessments, plans and actions to all stakeholders, both technical and nontechnical.
  • Assess and summarize the legal standards, laws and regulations related to information security/assurance in the global community.

This program is a 12-course degree with a 6-course core and 5-course focus area. The final program requirement is a 3.0 credit capstone research project.

ISA5005 Network Fundamentals (offered online only) or an approved equivalent is a requirement for this program. Students who do not have this course or an approved equivalent within their undergraduate program, or who transferred in, will need to complete this foundation course prior to registering for core and focus classes.

Secure computer systems and protect the information that is created, stored and transmitted with JWU Providence’s Master of Science (M.S.) in Cybersecurity, a program that is designed to accommodate the schedules of working professionals.

With data breaches increasing in severity and complexity, threatening retailers, banks, gaming networks, consumers, government and more, information security has become a critical function in the technology sector. Become part of one of the most exciting and fastest growing professions in the US: The Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts job growth in the information security analysis sector of roughly 33% between 2020 and 2030 — much higher than the average growth of other occupations.

You’ll integrate information security solutions through different security scenarios to stay ahead of potential hackers. You’ll also research, develop and test system security contingency plans and disaster recovery procedures to ensure information systems reliability and prevent unauthorized access.

After taking core classes, you’ll select a technical or business track based on your career goals. You’ll also have the opportunity to prepare for various security certifications, including the CISSP (Certified Information Systems Security Professional), CISA (Certified Information Security Auditor) and SSCP (Systems Security Certified Practitioner) to set yourself apart from the competition.

Without such verification, students will not be allowed to register for the current semester or continue enrollment and will be in jeopardy of losing their academic status with the university as well as their immigration status. For international students, a loss of immigration status will require their immediate departure from the United States.
