Master en Sciences de l'Information et Cybersecurity

Information assurance is one of the most dynamic fields in recent decades. With the growing demand for computing professionals, Gannon’s Information Assurance and Cybersecurity Master’s Degree places emphasis on the development of students’ skills and continued professional growth to stay abreast of the rapidly changing technological world.

• There is no previous cyber education needed to enroll in the master’s degree program.
• This program is designed for nontechnical degree holders who are looking to improve their knowledge in cybersecurity, increase their job prospects and earning potential, or take the first step toward a graduate degree in the cybersecurity field.

Keeping our critical cyber infrastructure secure while maintaining privacy is a priority. Cybersecurity Ventures predicts that there will be 3.5 million unfilled cybersecurity positions globally in 2021. The Bureau of Labor Statistics has also predicted that the current number of cybersecurity job openings is on the rise. This program is aimed to fill that void. Every cybersecurity worker needs to be equipped with cybersecurity concepts and knowledge to protect and defend apps, data, networks, devices, critical systems, infrastructure, and people. It provides post-bachelor’s academic credentials that lead to targeted industry-recognized certifications.

The Gannon Experience

Ask students when they've had the most fun at Gannon, and you'll get a variety of responses: making new friends in their FYT group, hanging out in The Commuter Corner, having deep conversations in their residence hall, or going to events at The Knight Club. Everyone has a different answer. That's because Gannon offers a wide variety of activities and organizations to meet all interests.

We recognize that each student is a unique individual with different interests, strengths, and dreams. Our goal is to help students create a sense of belonging on campus by providing them with a variety of opportunities to find their fit.
