Master of Science in Information Security Policy and Management (MSISPM)
In today's evolving, networked world, companies in a wide array of industries rely on information assurance managers to keep them secure. As a security expert holding the Carnegie Mellon MSISPM degree, you'll emerge as a leader in the global marketplace.
Unlike colleges offering information security programs from an engineering or computer science perspective, you'll learn practical strategies and tactics with both policy and management components. This 4-semester masters degree emphasizes the policy, management, and technology aspects of information security and risk management.
As a worldwide information systems trendsetter, Heinz College houses this premier program in information security enhanced by our close associations with the prominent CERT Coordination Center® and CyLab.
