Cybersecurity Graduate Program
Stevens is recognized by the National Security Agency as a Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education and Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Research. Supporting this designation is the Center for the Advancement of Secure Systems and Information Assurance, which fosters multi-disciplinary collaboration and acts as a catalyst for research, education, and entrepreneurship in information assurance and cybersecurity.
Cybersecurity is a high-growth field currently experiencing a demand far greater than the supply of trained professionals available. The Master of Science in Cybersecurity requires a total of 30 graduate credits and has been designed specifically to train students for these high-demand careers protecting our complex information infrastructures, meeting both the needs of graduates as well as those in government and industry. The White House has reported that, in the coming years, as many as 30,000 new cybersecurity professionals are needed by the United States government alone. A complementary curriculum in both computational technologies and security administration is offered to produce competent graduates able to navigate a highly technical and fast-paced field.
GRE is Preferred for All Applicants
