WHAT OUR STUDENTS ARE SAYING

“The support structure with the school itself, with the professors, was excellent. They were always available to answer questions and, more than that, their feedback on assignments was invaluable.”

Paul Cho

Master of Science in Cyber Security Engineering 
“I love that each course is very focused and that we only take one class at a time, for seven weeks, so that we can really concentrate on that one topic and gain a strong foundational knowledge. Also, the professors do an awesome job with helping us to navigate the online discussions and the general assignments are so applicable and useful.

Mansi Thakar

Master of Science in Cyber Security Operations and Leadership
“From the get-go and (from) a lot of the books and the learnings, (you learn) things that you can do on your own with anything that you’re curious about in data science or in an actual job or professional setting. I felt like only a month or two in, I was already thinking through problems I could solve at work with a data-driven approach.”

Stephen Kuc
