Show More Cybersecurity and information assurance — it's a constant challenge for individuals, businesses, and governments. There is no shortage of publicity surrounding security failures, breaches, and cyberattacks. The increasing dependence on technology to power critical infrastructures across the globe exposes vulnerabilities, and the consequences of a successful cyberattack can be far reaching. In fact, a recent article notes that hackers are pilfering $250 billion a year in intellectual property, including weapons designs and source code, as well as trade secrets from consumer industries. Information sharing, the way we buy and sell goods and the sheer amount of data shared and exchanged via technology, points to an increasing need for a skilled workforce — individuals who can recognize and anticipate failures and intrusions and those who can ensure network and system security. Why Information Sciences Online at Penn State? Pursuing the online Master of Professional Studies in Information Sciences (MPS in IS) gives you flexibility combined with a highly relevant course curriculum that incorporates real-world business issues and simulations.

The MPS in IS — cybersecurity and information assurance — focuses on information analysis, cybersecurity, and information science training. Penn State is a provider in information security and assurance and has been designated a National Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education by the National Security Agency and the Department of Homeland Security. Who Should Apply? With the growing national focus on information assurance and cybersecurity, the degree is an excellent choice if you are interested in exploring in depth the nature of information and networks and recognizing the multiple internal and external threats posed to cyberspace. The degree is multidisciplinary in nature and students from almost any discipline may be accepted into the program. However, because of the technical nature of the degree program, those who hold a bachelor’s degree in a technical or scientific discipline, including applied mathematics, computer information systems, computer science, information sciences, engineering, statistics, or a related field will be considered. Students with sufficient background gained through work experience or professional training in information technologies, such as networks, web services, and database development, will also be considered for admission to the program. Career Opportunities for Graduates As an information science professional with a master's degree, you can enter the marketplace with a distinct advantage; acquiring the degree can also provide you with more opportunities to earn a higher salary than other professionals in the same field. You can prepare for positions such as:
information assurance manager Entry RequirementsFor admission to the Graduate School, an applicant must hold either (1) a baccalaureate degree from a regionally accredited U.S. institution or (2) a tertiary (postsecondary) degree that is deemed comparable to a four-year bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited U.S. institution.
