University of Maryland, Baltimore County’s master’s degree programs in cybersecurity have been designed with the graduate professional in mind.  The Master of Professional Studies: Cybersecurity, Post-Baccalaureate Certificate: Cybersecurity Strategy and Policy and Post-Baccalaureate Certificate: Cybersecurity Operations have been tailored to prepare technical professionals involved with cybersecurity to fill management and leadership roles in cyber operations across industries.
“Cybersecurity is critical to any company or business operations, regardless of whether it is a private or government entity,” says Jim Panos, EduCo’s senior vice president for North American operations. “Thus, international students enrolled in any of the three graduate degrees can gain the applicable skills that are targeted to address the needs of the existing cybersecurity workforce in the United States, and specifically in Maryland where UMBC, our highly-ranked partner institution, is located,”
