Neumann will introduce a master’s degree in Cybersecurity this fall. The program is guided by Dr. Thomas Dodds, who used to work at Microsoft as an architectural consultant, the highest-level advisor position at the corporation. Dodds says Neumann’s program will help students “obtain the advanced, hands-on expertise required to succeed in today’s Security Operations Centers.”

The Cybersecurity program requires 30 credits and can be completed in two years or less, offered via online, in-class, and hybrid formats to accommodate working professionals. Students will master skills by using real-world hacking lab scenarios and simulations in NU’s state-of-the-art data center, which provides access to the latest server and infrastructure technologies.
