Boston University's College of Arts & Sciences offers the Master of Science in Computer Science with a Specialization in Cyber Security to address the urgent industry need for technical experts skilled in safeguarding computer systems. The curriculum combines courses on technical aspects such as safe software, languages, architectures, and broader coverage of privacy and legal issues. Students master cryptographic methods, data and information security, fault-tolerant computing, network security, privacy, anonymity, software safety, and system security, and may engage in research via BU’s Center for Reliable Information Systems & Cyber Security (RISCS), a National Center of Academic Excellence. The cybersecurity specialization track requires additional core courses in cybersecurity and electives from related departments. The program welcomes applicants with a CS undergraduate degree or equivalent technical background, and provides options for those with gaps in CS depending on academic records. Completion leads to advanced mastery across cyber security theory and practice, with opportunities to complete a master's project or thesis under faculty supervision. 来源： https://www.bu.edu/cs/masters/program/cs/cyber-security/
