The Master of Science in Information Security Engineering (MSISE) degree program prepares student to be the architects, designers, and lead builders of information security for an enterprise, defined here as an organization of sufficient size and complexity to have a dedicated information security team. Graduates will take on enterprise security technical leadership roles with titles such as Technical Director for Information Security, Senior Security Analyst, Senior Security Administrator, Information Systems Security Manager, Information Systems Security Officer, Information Security Manager, and Chief Information Security Officer. Graduates may also work as consultants who carry out the responsibilities of those positions, or who advise organizations on information security engineering issues. The MSISE program is designed to provide a sound theoretical framework delivered through a practitioner lens, but also to ensure that the graduate is capable of establishing adaptive security paradigms.
