The Master of Science in Cyber Security Engineering (MS-CYSE) provides students with highly technical knowledge and skills, cyber security expertise, and a comprehensive systems engineering perspective.
The program provides theory and practice on the design, planning, and management of systems and procedures for protecting critical physical and cyber infrastructure from external threats, including terrorism. Students gain a strong foundation in software, hardware, networking, and cryptography, while also developing skills in systems engineering methods for safeguarding critical infrastructure against evolving threats. Coursework spans areas such as information assurance, vulnerability and threat assessment, contingency and redundancy planning, disaster response, and homeland security policy.
Concentrations for the MS-CYSE include:
- Secure Advanced Manufacturing and Supply Chains
- Autonomous Vehicles Cyber Security
- Cyber Secure Artificial Intelligence Systems
CYSE's research includes spans from secure systems design and 5G/NextG innovation to smart manufacturing, C5I, cyber-physical defense, and information assurance.
