instruction

The University of the District of Columbia (UDC) Master of Science in Cybersecurity program prepares students to reduce the risk exposure of organizations through the design and implementation of effective cybersecurity techniques, strategies, and governance frameworks grounded in best practices.

Graduating with a Master of Science degree in cybersecurity allows students to pursue work with a wide variety of employers, achieve leadership positions as their expertise expands and apply for positions that will fulfill and bring them better life satisfaction. In a growing and diverse field like cybersecurity, work always brings new challenges and allows professionals to continue learning on the job, well beyond graduation. In response to the evolving threats, and increasing costs of the digital landscape, today’s organizations are prioritizing cybersecurity risk management more than ever.

One of the main reasons why Applicants should consider getting a Master of Science degree in cybersecurity is the high level of education required to fill the massive talent shortage in the cybersecurity industry. This drastic skills gap has led the government along with many private organizations to offer financial incentives for those looking to pursue a degree (Graduate/Undergraduate) in cybersecurity. The Master of Science cybersecurity program at UDC will position students to fill this critical void, equipping them with the cross-disciplinary skills and expertise that today’s employers demand. Our graduates leave the program primed for success in a variety of roles within the public, private, and nonprofit sectors.
