Cybersecurity, Management Degrees Prepare Students to Protect Our Future

Cybersecurity leadership is key to protecting information in both the public and private sectors. Salaries for workers in the field reflect that importance. Computer and information systems managers earned a median income of $131,600 annually in 2015, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Information Security Analysts were making $90,120 annually. These fields are projected for continued growth through the next decade, as well, at increases of 15 percent on average — “much faster” than that of all other occupations.

With a Master of Science in Information Security & Assurance or Master of Science in Cybersecurity Management & Policy, graduates are prepared to take on the next wave of threats in today’s ever-changing Information Age. Through industry-relevant curriculum, students are taught to balance technical knowledge with management principles to excel in leadership positions within the field.
