The George Washington University’s School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) will offer an online Master of Engineering in Cybersecurity Policy and Compliance M.Eng.(CPC) with its first term starting this fall. Given the rise in cybercrime and instances of global corporate espionage, this program fills an urgent staffing demand by educating students with a specific skillset that employers are seeking in managerial-level information assurance personnel: namely, the ability to detect potential vulnerabilities, develop and guide proposed solutions and policies, and ultimately mitigate risk.
The program is developed and taught by established experts in cybersecurity, including published authors, award-winning teachers, and recognized leaders at corporations such as IBM, CellTrust, and MITRE.
The online master in cybersecurity program is designed to accommodate working professionals and requires 30 credit hours of coursework to complete. Students taking two courses per term can finish the program in 2.5 years. The live lectures are recorded. Other coursework can be completed as it suits a student’s schedule, minding assignment deadlines. All required books and software for the program are included in the cost of tuition, which is competitively priced at $1,075 per credit hour*.
