Cybersecurity threats pose a major challenge for both businesses and society as a whole. This growing concern demands business leaders who are well-versed in both commercial operations and digital security.
The Master of Science in Cybersecurity Management (MSCM) program aims to provide business professionals with up-to-date expertise and practical abilities to create corporate cybersecurity policies, implement risk mitigation approaches, and oversee their successful deployment. The program also caters to cybersecurity specialists looking to transition into leadership roles.

Graduates of the MSCM program will be equipped for careers including cybersecurity management, Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA), Security Analyst roles, Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) positions, and opportunities within the Control Objectives for Information Technology (COBIT) framework. The degree also benefits executives seeking deeper cybersecurity knowledge to guide compliance efforts with regulations like California's 2018 Privacy Act (implemented in 2020), the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), risk governance, and Sarbanes-Oxley requirements.
