MS in Cybersecurity

While increased access to technology improves your life, it also threatens your personal data. This rapid development has made cybersecurity crucial. The MS in Cybersecurity program at DU blends cybersecurity and computer science education to give you a solid technical foundation with essential skills. We offer three introductory courses for those entering from other fields. What sets us apart is our tool-agnostic approach, focusing on technical skills and foundational knowledge. This approach not only prepares you for any cybersecurity job as the industry evolves but also opens a world of possibilities for your learning journey. We are a National Security Agency (NSA) accredited National Center of Academic Excellence-Cyber Defense. We were also recently recognized by Fortune Recommends as one of the best in-person cybersecurity master's program.
