Cybersecurity Management Program Description
The proposed Master of Science (MS) in Cyber Security Management program will prepare graduates for the unmet demand for cyber security expertise both nationally and regionally by instilling knowledge of leadership, strategy and information security management, as well as incorporating important inter­disciplinary perspectives from criminal justice and psychology. <br> <br>The program&#39;s professional career focus fits with the mission of the University of Baltimore (UB), which is to offer career-focused education for aspiring and current professionals, making excellence accessible to traditional and nontraditional students motivated by professional advancement. The student population at UB is diverse ethnically, racially, and in age, attracting a high proportion of both first­ generation degree-seekers and first-generation citizens: all qualities prized in the cyber security field. <br> <br>As a degree housed primarily within the business school, it also fits the Merrick School of Business&#39; mission to use our urban education hub to offer practical, career-minded and globally engaged business education that inspires professional and entrepreneurial growth. The location of the campus next to Penn Station provides easy access both to students and to industry expertise throughout the Baltimore­ DC region. <br> <br>In addition to the expertise of the business school faculty, the program will draw on the inter­disciplinary expertise available from the Colleges of Public Affairs and of Arts and Sciences and will extend and complement the existing programmatic capacity at UB in the area of cyber, including: <br>• B.S. in Applied Information Technology (Information Security <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;and Assurance track) <br>• B.S. Information Systems and Technology&nbsp; Management <br>• M.S. in Forensic Science - High-Tech Crime <br>• MBA specialization in Cyber Security and Organizational <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Resilience <br>
