Master of Science in Cybersecurity

Offered through Saint Louis University's School for Professional Studies, our Master of Science in Cybersecurity curriculum will teach you to apply information security principles to analyze, detect and mitigate vulnerabilities and intrusions to your organization's cyberinfrastructure. You will also gain a deeper appreciation and understanding of security and privacy's social, policy, ethical, and legal aspects. Graduates with an M.S. in cybersecurity are prepared to manage and lead cyber teams and programs in roles ranging from government cybersecurity analysts to data security consultants. A unique aspect of SLU's cybersecurity program is the ability to earn a graduate certificate that complements a master's degree, often without taking additional credits. This allows you to tailor the program to your specific interests.
