University of Detroit Mercy offers undergraduate and graduate level degrees in Cybersecurity & Information Systems

University of Detroit Mercy’s Cybersecurity & Information Systems program has been recognized by the National Security Agency (NSA) as a Center for Excellence in Cyber Defense (CAE-CD) since 2004.

This designation is given to select accredited academic institutions that offer both undergraduate and graduate Cybersecurity degrees and demonstrate significant community involvement, academic enterprise and systematic protocols in cybersecurity.

UDM has created a range of programs at both the undergraduate and graduate levels that align with specific job roles and enable students to graduate with the knowledge and skills employers seek in cybersecurity professionals.

The 120-credit hour Bachelor of Science in Cybersecurity prepares students to take on roles in the information security field by using hands-on learning in the classroom and practical lab assignments in UDM’s experiential cybersecurity lab.

The M.S. in Cybersecurity Management emphasizes the strategic aspects of governance, risk management, auditing, cyber defense operations and cyber law.

This online graduate-level program is comprised of eight core classes and two elective classes that align with the National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education (NICE)  framework.

The goal is to develop leaders equipped to address the crucial task of protecting the nation’s information infrastructure.

The Cybersecurity & Information Systems program also offers an M.S. in Information Technology (MSIT) available in both online and in-person formats.

UDM also offers an accelerated five-year program that includes a B.S. in Cybersecurity and an M.S. in Information Technology or Intelligence Analysis.
