The Master of Science in Cybersecurity program consists of 32 credit hours, which includes 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 shared learning outcomes across departments serves as another core component. Individual academic units determine their specialization's required and elective courses (totaling 18 credits), with details outlined in the following section.
While all three schools grant the same MS Cybersecurity degree, each unit provides distinct specializations:
The School of Computer Science (CS) focuses on information security.
The School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) specializes in cyber-physical systems.
The School of Public Policy (PUBP) concentrates on policy studies within cybersecurity.

IELTS Requirements: Overall minimum score of 7 with minimum section scores of 6.5 in reading, listening, speaking, and 5.5 in writing. Exam results more than 2 years old cannot be considered.
Most students who are accepted into the School of ECE's graduate program have a degree in electrical and/or computer engineering. Applicants with degrees in other engineering disciplines, computer science, mathematics, or the physical sciences are also eligible to apply. Qualified applicants with degrees in disciplines other than electrical and/or computer engineering are encouraged to take undergraduate ECE courses as prerequisites before enrolling in ECE graduate courses. Persons with engineering technology (EET) degrees or persons with non-engineering degrees not mentioned above must first earn a bachelor's or master's of science degree in one of the disciplines listed above before applying to our graduate program. Students with a bachelor's of science degree in one of the disciplines listed above and with a minimum grade point average of 3.25 out of 4.0 from a recognized institute of higher education are eligible to apply for admission.
