OMS CybersecurityThe MetroAtlantaCEO article “Accenture Security to Invest $500,000 in Georgia Tech’s Online Master of Science in Cybersecurity Degree Program” highlighted the three tracks of the program “information security...policy, and energy systems.”
Excerpt:
To help meet the growing demand for highly skilled cybersecurity professionals, Accenture will become the first corporate donor to invest $500,000 over the next twelve months in the Georgia Institute of Technology’s Online Master of Science in Cybersecurity (OMS Cybersecurity) degree program. The OMS Cybersecurity program will launch January 7, 2019 with approximately 250 students and is projected to scale over time to meet increasing demand and greater student needs. The online program has the same content as the on-campus program but is designed to serve working professionals who can study part-time and earn a master’s degree, which will increase the number of trained and educated cybersecurity professionals available for organizations to hire.
