Build your competencies in cyber defense through hands-on coursework

At Franklin, experiential learning is an essential part of the cybersecurity curriculum. You’ll apply what you learn in order to prepare you to overcome real-life challenges. You’ll have an opportunity to mimic common security threats – hacking websites and wireless networks, sniffing networks to capture passwords, and spoofing network packages – in order to secure networks and prevent data theft and intrusion.

However, cybersecurity is not only a technical domain; it also has organizational, legal, ethical and managerial aspects. In addition to technical expertise, you’ll gain management-level knowledge by examining strategic aspects of cybersecurity such as ethics, privacy, and information security policy and governance.

As part of your transformation into a well-rounded cybersecurity professional, you’ll also build the soft skills employers desire. Throughout the program you’ll sharpen your communication, presentation and listening skills to differentiate yourself, whether you are working as part of a team or you want to position yourself as a solutions-oriented leader.
