Engineering-Focused But Multidisciplinary - George Washington University

Cyberseccc21 Oct, 2020Business

Housed in the SEAS, the foundation of the program�s curriculum is engineering-focused but multidisciplinary. It consists of four computer science courses and six others focusing on policy, management, compliance and risk management. While many graduate programs in cybersecurity focus heavily on coding or high-level policy, GW�s program distinguishes itself with coursework that balances policy studies and technical skills, building knowledge of security systems, algorithms, and software paradigms. Although an overview of cryptography is included in the coursework, prospective students are not required to have extensive coding knowledge to apply.
