The graduate certificate program has been approved by the Maryland Higher Education Committee (MHEC). The graduate concentration has been proposed but has not been submitted to MHEC. Upon the completion of the graduate certificate program, students will receive the Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Cyber Security. The graduate curriculum takes the 5xx courses and adds three advanced 6xx courses to build a concentration. All of the courses have been developed.
