Master of Science with a Major in Information Security Management

The Master of Science with a major in Information Security Management is a 30-hour master’s program consisting of three core courses, a choice of a technical or managerial track, and two crosscutting courses. Students have the flexibility of choosing a track and still taking several courses from the other track. The managerial track is grounded in the eight domains of information security as articulated for the Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP).

To be considered for admission to the online MS in Information Security Management program, the following items must be submitted with your application:

• Official transcripts from all universities and colleges attended showing that you’ve earned a bachelor’s degree or equivalent from an accredited college or university
  • Bachelor’s degree must be in a related field, such as computer engineering, computer science, cybersecurity, information systems, information technology, software engineering, or data science.
• Three formal letters of recommendation
• Resume/CV
• Proof of Lawful Presence: According to Policy 4.3.4 of the University System of Georgia, any student requesting to pay at the in-state tuition rate will be required to provide verification of their lawful presence in the United States in order to be classified as an in-state student or awarded an out-of-state tuition waiver.

There are no strict standardized test or GPA requirements. Each application will be reviewed, and an admissions decision will be rendered based on all elements of the application.

Not all programs are available to residents in all states. Please check the institution's State Authorization and Professional Licensure website(s) to ensure you reside in an authorized state.
