The security technologies graduate program shapes tomorrow's analytical and risk management policy makers and innovators through a multi-disciplinary graduate program developed in response to growing demand in many levels of industry and government. Through a multidisciplinary systems approach, the program synthesizes core learning in four areas: security methods and foundations; application expertise (including cyber, bio, food, infrastructure, global supply chains); systems science (interdependency among critical networks, components, human capital, organizational dimensions); and social and policy dimensions. Through elective courses, students choose a learning track in either security systems technologies or security risk management. Students can further specialize through a range of elective courses. This program bridges disciplines to address local, regional, national, and global areas of need, seeding innovative capabilities while enabling interdisciplinary connections through direct links to industry, business, and government partners.
