Cybersecurity Graduate Certificate

As digital systems increasingly underpin commerce, communication and critical infrastructure, security and privacy have become foundational concerns for organizations and society. Effective protection of data and systems requires more than the use of off-the-shelf tools—it demands a rigorous understanding of the mathematical, algorithmic and social principles that govern secure and privacy-preserving technologies.

The graduate certificate in Cybersecurity provides you with a deep technical foundation in cryptography, algorithm design and discrete mathematics. The program emphasizes understanding cryptographic tools and protocols at a fundamental level, enabling students to evaluate, implement and deploy them correctly rather than treating them as black boxes. In addition to technical training, the curriculum explores the social, legal and ethical dimensions of privacy, examining how technical solutions intersect with evolving legislation and societal expectations.
