  1. Master of Science in Cyber Security (MSCS) in USA ECCU’s Master of Science in Cyber Security (MSCS) program prepares professionals to assume cybersecurity and information assurance leadership roles in corporations, agencies, and organizations. A curriculum rich in computer security management, IT security threat assessment, incident response, organizational management and behaviour, and leadership challenges students to become creators of knowledge and inventors of processes. The master’s in cybersecurity degree has been divided into a set of core courses that provide the necessary skills in cybersecurity, organizational behaviour, and structure, research, and writing. The program then offers various specializations to allow students to select specific fields of study that they are passionate about, each having well-defined job prospects, derived from the NICE framework, affiliated with them. The Master of Science in Cyber Security Program is offered 100% online, allowing students to complete coursework in a timeframe that fits their schedule. This also requires that the student has the appropriate technology and connectivity to sustain constant participation in class activities. Program Summary LEVEL OF STUDY Graduate NUMBER OF COURSES 12 (36 Credit Hours) MODE OF STUDY Online (Flexible with Hands-On Experience) DURATION 2 Years – 12-week terms (4 per year) TERM BEGINS ON October 4th, 2021 About the Program Developed from a learning model based on Bloom’s Taxonomy, the online master’s in cybersecurity educational objectives are to identify what students should learn, understand, and be able to do based on their EC-Council University coursework. The university’s bachelor and master in cybersecurity programs are established with a mix of both business management and applied practical technology studies. This is based on the industry’s need to have a balance of applied skills and disciplines in both technical domains of research and practical business knowledge in the workplace. The purely technical theory or heavily managerial focus of some programs does not produce as well-rounded a cybersecurity expert as is generally desired by industry.

  2. What you will learn upon completion: •The application of technical strategies, tools, and techniques to secure data and information for a client or customer. •Adherence to a high standard of ethical behaviour. •The use of research in both established venues and innovative applications to expand the body of knowledge in cybersecurity. •The application of critical thinking to creatively and systematically solve the problems and meet the challenges of the ever-changing environments of cybersecurity. •The mastery of the skills necessary to move into leadership roles in companies, agencies, divisions, and departments. Course Structure The course structure of MS in cybersecurity is presented over 12-week terms and consists of assigned readings, threaded discussions, case studies, written analysis, research projects, and examinations. Students must spend 10-12 hours of study a week to complete the work. ECCU encourages regular and frequent student-faculty interaction via the internet. Syllabi and grading rubrics of cybersecurity master’s degree set out the course requirements, expectations, and timelines, and students are kept abreast of their progress in the course through the MyECCU Online Learning Management System. Course Delivery ECCU’s Master of Science in Cyber Security coursework is delivered through a 100% online degree program, providing the flexibility of time management whereby students can attend to coursework at any time of day/night or weekends (24×7). There is a structure to the week and term whereby attendance and submissions must meet predefined deadlines each week and weekly attendance and participation are mandatory. Synchronous scheduled class times are not utilized, but adherence to discussion and homework weekly posting deadlines are. The online master’s in cybersecurity degree utilize traditional university terms (semesters of 12 weeks) and are structured accordingly. The course delivery sits in a flexible middle ground between the structure of set class times and attendance and the open-ended system of self- paced independent study courses. Each course under this Master of Science in Cyber Security program is instructor-led by credentialed professors with industry experience with a maximum enrolment of 30 students. Guided discussion, interaction/engagement, assistance/support, and grading/feedback will be done with your professor weekly as the course proceeds. Courses typically consist of a mixture of weekly threaded discussions, reading materials, iLabs (ECCU’s online virtual platform to practice), presentation support (PowerPoint and/or video), quizzes/exams, and/or research projects/papers. Candidates who wish to pursue ECCU’s master’s in cybersecurity online degree can choose one of its five specializations – Security Analyst, Cloud Security Architect, Digital Forensics, Incident Management, and Business Continuity and Executive Leadership in Information
