Security of digital information is a pressing issue in our modern society. In this environment, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics expects cybersecurity jobs to grow at twice the average of all other occupations, making the time and effort put into earning a cybersecurity graduate degree completely worth it.

A master’s in cybersecurity can also qualify students for managerial positions in this growing field of computer system protection, device and data recovery, and digital forensics.
