Faculty with real-world cybersecurity experience from a variety of different fields (healthcare, government, education, etc.) will teach you how to protect your organization's data from cyber threats. When you graduate, you'll be equipped to lead a team or organization to mitigate cyber-risks and achieve business objectives.
The field is constantly changing. Because of this, content in the cybersecurity M.S. is constantly being revised to present students with relevant information.
For those seeking to expand their role in the IT sector, an M.S. in cybersecurity will expand your knowledge and leadership potential.

It's crucially important for IT people — whether they are in general IT, architecture design, or software — they all need to be more aware of cybersecurity issues and their practical use of it. ... If you are thinking about attending JBU and can do it, then you should. You’ll have to put the work in because the work you put in is what you're going to get out of it.
