Program Details

The M.S. in Cybersecurity and Privacy provides a strong foundation and advanced technical expertise in security, privacy, and cryptography applied to computer systems, networks, and web applications. Graduates develop broad expertise across these areas, with the option to cover not only the technical dimensions but also the legal, policy, and ethical aspects of security and privacy. Beyond in-depth knowledge of security mechanisms, standards, and state-of-the-art capabilities, graduates are prepared to design new systems and infrastructure-level security solutions. 

What You Will Learn:

Graduates of the program will be able to:

  • Describe cybersecurity and privacy mechanisms, standards, and state-of-the-art capabilities.
  • Describe potential cyber attacks and the actors that might perform them, and apply cyber defense methods to prepare a system to repel attacks.
  • Perform security reviews of applications, systems, and infrastructure.
  • Design and implement system-, network-, and infrastructure-level solutions that protect the security and privacy of communications and data against specific threats, while weighing the trade-offs between security, usability, and performance.
  • Use standard security terminology to communicate effectively with other cybersecurity professionals.
  • Understand the ethical and legal implications of cyber attacks.

In practical terms, this means graduates can select and implement appropriate cryptographic protocols; analyze and harden communication across every layer of the network stack; review applications and infrastructure for vulnerabilities; and reason about privacy, policy, and the legal context in which security decisions are made.

Program Details

The mission of NJIT's Master's in Computer Science is to prepare students for lifelong high-quality careers in technology through a broad, comprehensive, and continuously evolving curriculum that balances theory and project-driven applications. Offered by a Carnegie R1 research university minutes from New York City, the program is built and taught by active research faculty and continuously updated to track where the field — and the industry — is going. 

The on-campus program is offered in Newark and Jersey City.

What You Will Learn:

Graduates of the program will be able to:

  • Analyze and prove the properties of algorithms, software, and computing systems using the theoretical underpinnings of Computer Science — assessing run-time efficiency, reasoning about correctness, and designing new data structures and algorithms for new use cases.
  • Analyze, design, and construct software that contributes to large, multi-layered and multi-machine systems — reliable, scalable applications built with modern engineering practices and deployed across parallel, distributed, and cloud environments.
  • Design and construct software that employs intelligence and learning to solve complex, open-ended, and novel problems — from machine learning models and neural networks to data-driven systems applied to real-world domains.
  • Select, develop, communicate, and deploy viable solutions in one or more Computer Science sub-fields — going deep in your chosen specialization, whether that's Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity, Hyperscale Computing, or Software Engineering, and presenting your work the way industry expects

In practical terms, this means graduates can assess the run-time efficiency of algorithms and design new data structures for new use cases; build reliable, scalable full-stack software for real-world applications; construct robust and secure database systems from design to implementation; and develop networked applications that exploit parallel and cloud computing.
