NYU School of Professional Studies Center for Global Affairs Launches MS in Global Security, Conflict, and Cybercrime
The NYU School of Professional Studies Center for Global Affairs recently launched a 36-credit MS in Global Security, Conflict, and Cybercrime, which is currently taking applications for Fall 2019. The degree is designed for individuals who seek cyber-related positions across the private and public sectors, and non-governmental organizations. It addresses critical issues including disinformation, espionage, and terrorists’ use of emerging technologies and media.
“Rather than focusing on the technological aspects of cybercrime, as many of the current masters programs in this area of study do, this new degree is interdisciplinary and attentive to the transnational security issues that arise from cybercrime,” says Vera Jelinek, divisional dean of the NYUSPS Center for Global Affairs. “We plan to attract a cohort of students from a variety of professional backgrounds who will bring their own knowledge and expertise to tackling the emerging issues in cybercrime and cybersecurity.”
