About this program

Cybersecurity isn’t just an IT issue anymore– it’s a business one. And the leaders who understand both sides of that equation? They’re the ones stepping into the roles that matter.

The Online MBA with Specialization in Cybersecurity is built for professionals who want to do more than react to risks. You’ll learn how to lead through complexity, make smart decisions under pressure, and speak the language of both security teams and executive stakeholders.

You’ll dig into the tech: IoT ecosystems, cybersecurity frameworks, digital infrastructure. But you’ll also sharpen your strategy, your business thinking, and your ability to drive outcomes that protect people, data, and reputations.

It’s 100% online, with structured pacing to keep you focused– and a curriculum shaped by what real employers are asking for.

This is about more than defense. It’s about leading with confidence in a digital-first world.
