GRADUATE CERTIFICATE IN PROFESSIONAL STUDIES: CYBERSECURITY STRATEGY AND POLICY
The Graduate Certificate in Professional Studies: Cybersecurity Strategy & Policy provides students the essential domain knowledge required to serve in decision-making roles throughout the cybersecurity industry. Students will learn how to analyze cybersecurity risks, develop appropriate protection & response options, and assess operational requirements for government, military, critical infrastructure, and commercial missions. Upon completing the certificate, students will possess advanced knowledge of the strategy, policy, and analytic aspects of cybersecurity, enabling them to fill critical roles in operational cybersecurity missions supporting both industrial and governmental entities.
This certificate requires the following four courses and can be completed in a year. Because these courses are not technical, this program is available to students with a variety of undergraduate or work backgrounds. If a student is accepted into the M.P.S.: Cybersecurity, all four certificate courses count toward that degree.
