The cybersecurity courses offered in our master’s degree program will provide them with increased levels of proficiency in products and applications, the skills to build secure and dependable systems, the opportunity to conduct hands-on cybersecurity research, and so much more. Drive their career forward in SHU's top-ranked Jack Welch College of Business & Technology (WCBT). In the top five percent of elite business schools worldwide, cybersecurity courses in the WCBT are taught by accomplished faculty with a record of prestigious scholarship and professional experience. Sacred Heart University has been designated as a National Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense (CAE-CD) for the Master of Science in cybersecurity program.

Graduating with a master’s degree in cybersecurity from a CAE-CD designated university gives potential employers a high degree of confidence in hiring its graduates as their degree curriculum closely aligns with NSA-recommended cybersecurity-related knowledge units (KUs), validated by subject matter experts in the field.
