Graduate Certificate in Cybersecurity

The Graduate Certificate in Cybersecurity from CSU’s College of Business teaches the knowledge and skills necessary to face the dynamic, high-demand, and ever-evolving need for information management and digital Information security. You’ll learn how to identify enterprise-and-IT-related risks and vulnerabilities for organizations and evaluate potential impact.

The AACSB-accredited courses teach how to evaluate weaknesses in an organization's IT controls and make recommendations to improve regulatory compliance, reporting and operational performance. You’ll gain significant hands-on experience in both attacking and defending virtual systems after learning basic programming concepts, and demonstrate the ability to set-up and troubleshoot hardware and software for a computer network.

In this cybersecurity certificate, we blend business and technical approaches to provide the most practical and relevant training for you to knowledgably address cybersecurity and information assurance tasks and challenges.

Every credit earned in this certificate can later be applied toward the CSU College of Business’s online or on-campus Master of Computer Information Systems after formal admission per University transfer policies. Successful completion of the certificate does not guarantee degree-program admission.
