Roosevelt University's Cyber and Information Security program stresses a solid technical foundation while simultaneously emphasizing the social, political and economic realities of cybersecurity and cyber conflict. Students learn to appreciate the human history, contextual reality and expected future of cybersecurity, even as the technology with which they work evolves and develops — sometimes in unexpected ways — during their program of study at Roosevelt. In this way, students graduate well-prepared to enter the workforce as leaders and decision-makers.

As an NSA/DHS recognized Center of Academic Excellence, Roosevelt's program in Cyber and Information Security delivers a cutting-edge combination of fundamentals and hands-on classes in a comprehensive program designed to prepare students for employment in the this exciting and expanding field. Students will learn and engage in cybersecurity activities in and out of the classroom and through our Center for Cyber and Information Security, under the guidance of certified cybersecurity professionals. Beyond information technology careers, this program can lead to work in computer forensics, fraud investigation, intelligence, terrorism and crime analysis. Students earn multiple professional certifications en route to degree completion.

The program is designed to give each graduate a portfolio of cybersecurity experiences and achievements in addition to their Bachelor of Science degree. Each student is assisted in community outreach, cyber security research, and cybersecurity competitions where they sharpen collaborative skills. Students and faculty attend conferences and speakers regularly come to campus.

To enable high-achieving and motivated students to earn both a bachelor degree and a graduate degree in Cyber Security & Information Assurance in five years, we offer a combined Cyber Security & Information Assurance, BS/MS Accelerated Program.
