网络安全理学硕士学位课程需要32个学时的课程（包括5个学分的实践课程），每个专业的学生都将参加的两门核心课程将对网络安全的技术和政策维度进行全面概述。第三门灵活的核心课程将提供广度，因为它必须来自与注册学生不同的专业。最后，所有参与单位具有共同学习目标的实习项目（5个学时）将是核心要求。每个参与单位将决定其提供的MS网络安全学位专业的必修课程和选修课程（共18个学时）。这些要求已由参与单位定义，并将在下一部分中进行描述。
The Master of Science in Cybersecurity degree program requires 32 credit hours of coursework (including a 5 credit practicum project course), Two of the core courses, which students in each specialization will take, will provide a broad overview of technology and policy dimensions of cybersecurity. Students are required to take a third core course that comes from one of the other specializations, e.g., a policy specialization student must take a course from the cyber-physical or information security track. Finally, a practicum project (5 credit hours) with common learning objectives across all participating units will be a core requirement. Each participating unit will decide required and elective courses for the MS Cybersecurity degree specialization offered by it (a total of 18 credit hours). These requirements have been defined by the participating units and are described in the next section.<br><br>Although all three participating schools will offer a single degree, MS Cybersecurity, the focus of the degree will depend on the specialization defined by the offering unit. In particular, each unit will offer the following specializations for the MS degree in Cybersecurity.<br><br>The School of Computer Science (CS) offers the MS Cybersecurity degree with an information security specialization.<br>The School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) offers the MS Cybersecurity degree with cyber-physical systems specialization.<br>The School of Public Policy (PUBP) offers the MS cybersecurity degree with a policy specialization.
