Master of Science in Cyber Security. What is offered by many institutions is actually called a Master in Strategic Cyber Operations and Information Management (SCOIM) which is commonly understood to be a Master in Cybersecurity. This degree is offered by at least some universities in their Professional Studies program (GWU for one). Graduate programs help you learn advanced technical, conceptual, and practical skills needed for a leadership career in cyber security. Master’s in Cyber Security students learn advanced strategies and techniques to identify, prevent and address national security threats, as well as predict and prevent cyber attacks before they occur.
Students in the Cybersecurity program at Johns Hopkins Engineering for Professionals become proficient in ensuring the confidentiality, availability and integrity of data, in preserving and restoring systems, and in developing risk management skills. State-of-the-art computing facilities and tools are accessible either on-site or online. Combined with knowledge from instructors who are working to fight cybersecurity threats on the front lines, the continually evolving curriculum prepares students for lasting careers in this critical field. 605.621 Foundations of Algorithms and 695.601 Foundations of Information Assurance should be taken before any other courses. 695.641 Cryptology should be taken after the other two foundation courses and before any other courses in the Analysis track.One or more foundation courses can be waived by the student’s advisor if a student has received an A or B in equivalent graduate courses.
In this case, the student may replace the waived foundation courses with the same number of other graduate courses and may take these courses after all remaining foundation course requirements have been satisfied. COURSES BY TRACKThe tracks offered represent related groups of courses that are relevant for students with interests in the selected areas.

Students are required to choose a track to follow and to take at least three courses from the selected track, including at least one 700-level course. The tracks are presented as an aid to students in planning their course schedules and are only applicable to students seeking a master's degree. They do not appear as official designations on a student's transcript or diploma.The three tracks each have additional requirements.
Applicants should have had a course in networking prior to taking courses in the Networks track, a course in operating systems prior to taking courses in the Systems track, and a course in both before taking courses in the Analysis track. If necessary, 605.612 Operating Systems and 605.671 Principles of Data Communications Networks can be taken and applied toward the master’s degree in Cybersecurity.
