The MBA Concentration in Cyber Security provides graduate students within the Hankamer School of Business exposure to ‘best practice’ concepts, techniques and methodologies critical to insuring data security in corporate/organizational environments. Furthermore, it is targeted towards addressing recent calls from the academic literature and professional journals to treat cyber security as a strategic organizational function rather than a back-office technical function. The purpose of the Concentration is to provide business graduate students with the necessary skills to develop and/or manage organizational processes, strategies, methodologies, and technologies designed to mitigate risks to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of organizational data and information-related resources for preparation to take cyber-security related management positions in industry and/or consulting practices.

Admission to the Cyber Security Concentration is contingent on admission into the Master of Business Administration (see requirements under Business School Admissions).
