Boston University's Metropolitan College (MET) offers a Master of Science in Criminal Justice with a specialization in Cybercrime Investigation & Cybersecurity, delivering hands-on training in cybercrime detection methods and cybersecurity protocols.
While conventional crime rates have decreased since the 1990s, cybercrime incidents continue to escalate. FBI data from the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) reveals over 4.8 million reports filed between 2000 and 2019. Recent figures show approximately 340,000 annual complaints since 2015, totaling $10.2 billion in damages. Experts suggest these numbers represent only a fraction of actual cases, with an estimated 90% going unreported.
