The Master of Science in Engineering Science with a Cybersecurity concentration is a collaborative, cross-disciplinary program offered jointly with UB's School of Management. Tailored for both recent graduates and experienced IT professionals, this program deepens cybersecurity knowledge and skills. Participants develop competencies for diverse career paths such as cybersecurity analysis, engineering, administration, or consulting across private and public sectors. The coursework integrates core cybersecurity theories with applied learning, teaching students to implement protective measures and operate security tools for cyber infrastructure defense. With a focus on practical implementation, the program prepares graduates to secure vital systems in key industries including healthcare, industrial production, and logistics networks against digital threats.
This program is distinct from UB's Computer Science and Engineering MS or Management Information Systems MS programs, which attract students primarily with computer science and business administration degrees, respectively.
