Overview
Auburn University ’s cybersecurity engineering graduate program (i.e., MS-CYBE) prepares students for analyzing, developing, investigating, protecting, and defending the cyber ecosystem of organizations. As such, it focuses on the engineering and technical aspects of cybersecurity. The degree is designed to appeal to practitioners as well as research scholars through the requirement of capstone experience.
The Cybersecurity Engineering graduate degree can be earned entirely through on‐campus instruction, through the Engineering Online Graduate Program, or a combination of the two. Distance students should note that MATH 6180, Cryptography, is offered only in an on‐campus format and cannot include it as one of their elective cybersecurity‐specific courses.
Program Outcomes:
- Outcome 1: Understanding of computer science principles beyond the baccalaureate level. This is assessed by successful completion of Foundational Courses.
- Outcome 2: Acquisition of skills specific to identifying and assessing cybersecurity threats; developing suitably protective and resilient network and software mechanisms; defending against cyber attacks; and detecting, triaging, and mitigating cybersecurity breaches. This is assessed by successful completion of Cybersecurity‐Specific Courses.
- Outcome 3: Acquisition of skills relevant to the workforce. This is assessed by successful completion of a Capstone Project.
