Overview

Goals

The goal of the Cyber Technology program at Clayton State University is to prepare students to work and study independently and collaboratively, to pursue academic career or professional career in education and research, industry, business, or government.

The program offers two curricular tracks: a Research (Thesis) Track and an Applied (Project) Track. The research track is designed for students interested in a career in cybersecurity research, possibly continuing toward a doctoral degree. The applied project track is designed to maximize the acquisition of advanced practical skills and a corresponding professional placement in industry, business, or government.

Within each track, there are two areas of concentration from which students may choose: the Operation and Security Management Concentration and the Information Security Concentration. To earn the Master of Science in Cyber Technology degree, a student must complete at least 30 credit hours including CyberTech core courses, courses within the chosen area of concentration, a project or thesis, and a research techniques course. Upon completion of the program, graduates will be awarded the MSCT degree.
