Welcome to the MS-CSIA Program!
Welcome to SUU's Master's of Cybersecurity with Information Assurance (CSIA) Program.
Cybersecurity is a topic on our collective mind. In recent years, cybersecurity has emerged as a major focus of national and international concern, as technology brings benefits, threats, and vulnerabilities to the forefront.
No time to attend class full-time and that too in person? We get it! That’s why you can enjoy the flexibility of any start semester, accelerated (7-week sessions) and a 100% online program.
No matter the background or interests you bring, your educational experience is our top priority. We will help you find the best match for your education and career goals here. Although we offer a 100% online degree and you might never meet your professors in person, that doesn’t mean you’ll be just another name. We are a student-centered engagement CSIA Online program, where faculty hold virtual office hours and use a variety of interactive technology tools such as email, Canvas, Slack, Discord, and Zoom to connect with students and provide frequent feedback.
We have top-tier faculty comprised of world-class professors and industry members (adjunct professors), robust curriculum with real-world experience. Our professors have years of industry experience in government agencies, private companies, academia, and more. They understand how to succeed in their field and have practical experience and professional connections to share with the students. Our rigorous industry-relevant curriculum explores key industry skills like risk management, network security and response, and governance through the curriculum for our online cybersecurity program. With our four emphases (Cybersecurity Strategy, Operations, Management, & HealthCare Administration), we provide state-of-the-art education into the world of design, planning, and management of cyber systems, as well as the procedures for protecting cyber systems and infrastructure from external threats.
We encourage you to review the interactive map of cyberseek.org that provides detailed, actionable data about supply and demand in the cybersecurity job market.
We also encourage you to connect with your peers and interact with our program LinkedIn page - SUU CSIA
Our program (MS-CSIA) is housed in the CSCY Department
Once again, the CSIA faculty and I welcome you to the program. We look forward to helping and guiding you in succeeding and achieving your educational and career goals.
