Overview

The Certificate in Cybersecurity prepares students for CISSP® certification, a globally recognized standard of achievement in the field of information security. The certificate is offered as a two-year, one-course-per-term (including one summer session) program, requiring three core courses and two electives. Grounded in a thorough understanding of the technical and managerial aspects of cybersecurity, graduates leave Hood ready to tackle the complex cyber challenges in business, industry, government, education, health and other fields. For students who want cyber training, but not the full master’s degree, there is a stand-alone certificate in cybersecurity. The curriculum deepens knowledge of the procedures, tools and standards used in cybersecurity. Students learn systems and network security, computer forensics, cryptography, ethical hacking, and contemporary technologies and techniques in web, wireless and mobile security. They also explore current trends and issues, gaining valuable insights into cybersecurity’s role and impact in day-to-day business operations.

Optional Practical Training (OPT)
Verify before applying

OPT and STEM OPT eligibility depend on maintaining F-1 status and on the program. A program counts as STEM only when its CIP code is on the official STEM list — not because its name sounds technical.
