Our Master of Science in Computer Science with a concentration in Cybersecurity is one of the most comprehensive Cybersecurity graduate programs in the nation. This highly technical and rigorous academic program is 100% online, which makes the program especially suitable for working professionals. Typically, candidates have prior degrees in Computer Science or ample work experience in the field. This program has made it possible for JMU to become one of the original 7 National Centers of Academic Excellence in Cybersecurity since 1998.
Current CS students can pursue a fast track to a Virginia Tech Masters of Engineering (MEng) in Computer Science and Applications (CSA). By applying to the program in the spring of their junior year, students can count up to six credits of their 400-level JMU CS coursework toward their Masters degree at Virginia Tech. The accelerated path can be completed in as few as 12 months.
