Applications for the new Cyber-security Management Master’s Degree program at San Diego State University will be accepted from October 1, 2019, through March 1, 2020. According to San Diego State, the Master of Science in Cybersecurity Management degree is the first graduate program of its kind to be offered by the Fowler College of Business and the second with a science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) designation.
“MSCM was a natural addition to our degree programs given the expertise of its faculty members,” said Robert Briggs, interim chair of the Management Information Systems department at the Fowler College of Business. “It opens up fantastic career opportunities for our students because there is a deep need for more cyber-security leaders in today’s workplace.”
The degree program was established as a joint effort between SDSU’s Management Information Systems department and the Charles W. Lamden School of Accountancy to meet the demand for chief information security officers and cyber-security managers in both private and public sectors.
“Because accounting systems auditors and network analysts have been called upon to contribute their expertise in evaluating cyber-security risk, as well as reporting on cyber-security risk management, it is important to develop a degree program that combines accounting systems courses with information technology and cyber-security courses,” said Janie Chang, the director of the Charles W. Lamden School of Accountancy.
San Diego State University’s Master of Science in Cybersecurity Management degree program combines graduate-level accounting courses with management information systems courses to provide students with proficiency in cyber-security analysis and risk management reporting pertaining to information systems and system/network auditing.
