Master of Science - Cybersecurity

The Master's in Cybersecurity degree at Southeast focuses on developing a highly skilled Cybersecurity workforce with specialization in the area of critical infrastructure as defined by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) designated 18 industries as critical infrastructure. This categorization reflects the fact that the compromise of any of these industries could pose significant threats to the well-being of the nation or human life. Critical infrastructure therefore forms the backbone of the nation's economy. DHS recognizes a major shortfall in highly trained Cybersecurity professionals this area of critical infrastructure.

The Master's program at Southeast thereby addresses this need of training new graduates, as well as retrain existing practitioners with the skills required to protect the nation's critical infrastructure. From classroom lectures to hands-on experience in the world of cybersecurity, we will prepare students for careers in the industry. Students will have an opportunity to take courses in computational cryptography, introduction of cybersecurity, information security in system administration, and security of critical infrastructure.
