The Mathematics of Information and Security (MS) has been developed to fill this need, combining courses in applied mathematics, data science, and information technology for a unique educational experience. Students also get the opportunity to take courses in cyber intelligence, national security, or counterterrorism, and can take advantage of our internship component, which allows students to gain job experience while earning graduate credit. After finishing the program, students are able to create and test the validity of mathematical models for leading problems in the security field, protecting sensitive data throughout its life cycle.
