The Master’s in Cybersecurity is a technical graduate program for professionals who want skills to prevent, detect, and resolve cyber attacks. It is a 36-credit program with 12 courses. The curriculum focuses on practical, rigorous exercises that simulate real-world situations and aims to cover all 10 domains for the CISSP certification.
Students can complete the program 100 percent online, and it is also available at University Campus for local students who prefer on-ground classes. Saint Leo offers six 8-week terms every calendar year. Students may take up to two classes per term, with flexibility in the sequence as long as prerequisite courses are completed.
The program is for people transitioning into IT, information security, or cybersecurity, as well as working professionals who want to advance in those fields. Because the program does not cover foundational computer science concepts, prospective students are encouraged to have a computer science, computer information systems, IT, engineering, or related degree, or complete prerequisite courses before applying.
