Overview
Administered by the Electrical & Computer Engineering Department in the College of Engineering, this program is interdisciplinary in nature and includes courses from Drexel University's College of Computing & Informatics. Topics covered include computer networking, probability concepts, techniques for analyzing algorithms, dependable software design, reverse software engineering, intrusion detection, ethics, privacy, confidentiality, authenticity, and social networking.
The Cybersecurity program at Drexel University offers multidisciplinary "research rotations" as an independent study component of the degree program and an option to participate in the Graduate Coop Program.
Graduate Co-op Program
Students pursuing an MS degree may choose to participate in the graduate co-op tract. Students will have the opportunity to take a no-credit professional development course that will prepare them for the coop application process, in addition to providing resume critiques and interview skills. After completing 3 quarters of full-time coursework, students will then participate in coop for 6 months before returning to the classroom to complete their degree requirements. For more specific information relating to the graduate coop process, please consult the Graduate Coop Coordinator or the ECE Program Manager for Graduate Programs.
