Abstract

As the popularity of Cybersecurity-related curricula grows both among students and institutions at the higher education level, there exist many questions regarding how degree programs should be structured and what specific content should be taught in them. Many areas of study that were once thought to be somewhat removed from a networking or information security focus have created new courses, or adapted existing ones, to create degree programs based on some aspect of Cybersecurity. Whether the program is titled Information Security, Information Governance, Business Systems Security, Network Security, or a host of other variations and terms, the heart of all of them is Cybersecurity. In other words, all of these programs revolve around the securing of data, systems, networks, and their physical footprints in organization. This work seeks to review the various types of master's level programs related to Cybersecurity in the U.S.
