The Master of Science in Cybersecurity program consists of 32 credit hours, including a 5-credit practicum project. Students across all specializations will complete two foundational courses covering both technological and policy aspects of cybersecurity. Additionally, they must select a third core course from a different specialization track (for example, policy-focused students would take a cyber-physical or information security course). A mandatory 5-credit practicum project with unified learning objectives completes the core requirements. Individual departments determine their specialization's required and elective courses (totaling 18 credits), as outlined in the following section.

While all three schools grant the same MS Cybersecurity degree, each specialization reflects the focus of its respective department. Specifically:

The School of Computer Science (CS) provides an information security specialization.
The School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) focuses on cyber-physical systems.
The School of Public Policy (PUBP) specializes in cybersecurity policy.
