Welcome to the Master of Science in Cybersecurity Program!
OVERVIEW
The United States is facing an increasing vulnerability of a wide range of risks stemming from cyber-attacks, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Such attacks have caused the loss and corruption of valuable digital information in cyberspace, may it be in transit or stored. DHS further points out that “of growing concern is the cyber threat to critical infrastructure, which is increasingly subject to sophisticated cyber intrusions that pose new risks.
CyberSeek, a non-profit information security advocacy group, states that there is a dangerous shortage of cybersecurity professionals in the United States. Employers are struggling to fill thousands of cyber-security related roles. On average, cybersecurity roles take 21% longer to fill than other IT jobs.
Cyber operations involve a complex interplay between technology and human behavior. To meet the sociotechnical needs from industry, MSU Denver has taken a unique approach by combining the Departments of Criminal Justice & Criminology, Computer Information Systems & Business Analytics, and Computer Sciences to jointly create a multidisciplinary Master of Science in Cybersecurity degree program.
The graduate program combines advanced computer/information system knowledge of combating cybercrime, analytical skills to analyze and manage cyber threats and security, the understanding of human factors in cyber operations, as well as the adaptation of laws to create policies to investigate, prosecute, and to punish cybercriminals.
Mission Statement and Goals
The mission of the CYBM program is to provide students with in-depth knowledge as well as practical skills in both policy and analysis of computer and network security, privacy, computer forensics, and the investigation, prosecution, and punishment of cybercrime. The CYBM program:
- Offers a multidisciplinary curriculum that combines the areas of computer science, computer information systems, cyber laws and policies, with an understanding of cyber-crimes and criminals;
- Enables students with either a technical or non-technical undergraduate field of study to obtain a graduate degree in cybersecurity;
- Prepares students to enter management or technical positions at all levels in the field of cybersecurity, and
- Provides students with leadership skills and an ability to work well in a team-based work environment.
Program Accreditation
The Master of Science in Cybersecurity is accredited through the Higher Learning Commission.

CAREER OUTLOOK
The National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education (NICE) developed the National Cybersecurity Workplace Framework, and the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) developed Industry Competency Model. The M.S. in Cybersecurity competencies use the above framework and model as guides.
The M.S. in Cybersecurity graduates will be able to:
- Identify, analyze, and mitigate threats to computer and information systems
Conceptualize, design, and build secure information systems - Provide support to ensure effective and efficient computer and information system performance and security
- Provide leadership, management, strategy, development, and advocacy so that organizations may effectively conduct cybersecurity work
- Investigate cyber events or crimes of computer and information systems and networks
- Apply cyber laws and regulations in prosecuting and punishing cyber criminals
- Be responsible for specialized denial and deception operations and collection of cybersecurity information that may be used to develop intelligence
Nationwide, the demand for positions in cybersecurity continues to grow. More than 200,000 cybersecurity jobs are unfilled in public and private sectors, and postings are up 74 percent over the last five years. The demand is expected to remain high as the need for cybersecurity professionals has grown three times as fast as traditional IT jobs. If you’re a veteran or work in law enforcement even better. These employment backgrounds and the security clearances that accompany them are particularly attractive for jobs relative to cybersecurity.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Yes! We have students in our program from a variety of backgrounds; having a cybersecurity, computer science or computer information systems background is definitely helpful as our program can be quite technical, but we offer introductory classes that can help bridge the gap somewhat if you feel that you need to gain more knowledge (i.e. CSS 2751 Principles of Cybersecurity).
The CYBM program consists of 36 credits.
Internships are optional and the credits will not count towards the required 36 credits for the CYBM program. Students cannot substitute any other required courses with the internship. To receive academic credit for an internship (CYBM 6000) students must have 24 completed credit hours and permission of faculty.
CYBM 6000 Internship in Cybersecurity Course Description: Students in this course will demonstrate the skills learned at Metropolitan State University of Denver with experience working in the field of cybersecurity. Students will gain hands-on experience related to their field of study by integrating classroom learning with the acquisition of meaningful knowledge in an applied work setting. Through direct coordination, performance and formulation, students gain an understanding of an assigned agency’s work, mission, and client, and how these potentially relate to their individual academic study, and the agency’s position in the broader industry or field. Students will produce a critical evaluation on their internship experience demonstrating how they have addressed specific learning goals.
Students in the CYBM program must complete the degree with a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher. Any student falling below a 3.0 average in any given term will be placed on academic probation. Students who fail to raise their GPA to 3.0 or above after 9 credit hours will be dismissed from the CYBM program.
No grade lower than a “C” will count toward the degree. Students receiving a “D” or below will be required to repeat the course.

No more than six (6) graduate-level transfer credits (semester hours or equivalent) will be accepted for the CYBM program. The credits must have been completed no longer than six years prior to the admission term and must be from a regionally accredited, U.S. institution or equivalent.
The CYBM program has discretion over the acceptance of transfer courses. A minimum grade of “B” is required for each transfer course. Applicants should check the CYBM program website and contact the Cybersecurity Program Manger regarding potential transfer of credits.
Forms of electronic communication have become in fact the means of official communication to students, faculty and staff within MSU Denver. This policy acknowledges this fact and formally makes electronic communication an official means of communication for the University.
Students are expected to attend all sessions of courses for which they are registered. Each instructor determines when a student’s absences have reached a point at which they jeopardize success in a course. When absences become excessive, the student may receive a failing grade for the course. If students anticipate a prolonged absence, they should contact their instructors. The full University policy on class attendance, including policies related to class attendance on religious holidays, can be found here.
Students at MSU Denver who, because of their sincerely held religious beliefs, are unable to attend classes, take examinations, participate in graded activities or submit graded assignments on particular days shall without penalty be excused from such classes and be given a meaningful opportunity to make up such examinations and graded activities or assignments provided that advance written notice that the student will be absent for religious reasons is given to the faculty members during the first two weeks of the semester.
For further information, see the Class Attendance policies page of the Graduate Academic Catalog.
Students may enroll in no more than nine (9) credits per semester for fall, spring, or summer semesters without the approval of all the involved departments.
The CYBM program does not allow any course to count toward both a master’s and bachelor’s degree.
Only students who are formally accepted into the CYBM program or non-degree-seeking status may register for any CYBM graduate courses.
The University residency requirement for master’s programs is the total number of semester hours required for the program minus nine (9).
Students in the CYBM program must complete the degree with a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher. Any student falling below a 3.0 average in any given term will be placed on academic probation.
