Master of Science in Cybersecurity Management

The Cybersecurity Management Master of Science program is a 30-credit hour program that prepares students to enter or transition into cybersecurity leadership roles. If you are already employed, this program offers you an effective way to learn new skills while continuing at your current job. The program’s flexibility provides a full-time employee the opportunity to complete coursework around a busy schedule. Work towards your degree at times that are most convenient for you.

The program consists of eight 3-credit hour courses plus two 3-credit hour electives. The first two courses provide students with information security principles and technical foundation before progressing to advance topics such as information security management, risk management, incident response, digital forensic fundamentals, IT audit, compliance, and project management. The Cybersecurity Management MS program culminates in a senior capstone experiential learning course where students prepare and present an information security design, policy, or plan for an industry/business partner.

Welcome to the Arthur J. Bauernfeind College of Business. Here you will find traditional business disciplines such as Accounting, Finance, Marketing, Management, and Computer Information Systems as well as Economics, Journalism and Mass Communications, Organizational Communication and Leadership, and Computer Science.

Though we have a wide variety of disciplines, we share three key characteristics. First, we have faculty who are not only experts in their fields, but have a passion to see you learn, grow, and succeed in your chosen area of study.

Second, we believe in hands on learning. From our new finance classrooms to the Murray State News, to partnering in research and projects with faculty and community businesses, our students have many opportunities to apply outside the classroom what they are learning inside the classroom.

Finally, we are committed to students’ success in careers and community service. We work with the Murray State Career Service office as well as business and government agencies to help our students start their careers. Many of our students participate in internships, community service and outreach activities, and professional activities while at Murray State.
