Program Description

The Department of Cyber Operations, Intelligence, & Information Operations' (CIIO) Master of Science (MS) program in Cyber & Information Operations is designed to prepare individuals for cyber-related occupations and leadership positions in government, defense, law enforcement, and private industry. The fully online program provides accessible and flexible full time and part time options for working professionals both in and out of technologically-oriented disciplines. The curriculum includes both offensive and defensive cyber security and information operations content delivered within our state-of-the-art Cyber Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) to ensure graduate students have extensive hands-on experiences and research opportunities to develop the knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary to succeed. The academic and research content of the VLE is built around Cyberapolis, a virtual world where students learn and practice both their offensive and defensive cyber skills. The VLE is an unstructured, synthetic, live environment designed to replicate the real internet; providing a realistic, non-scripted platform that forces students to synthesize and apply what they learn.
