Buffalo, NY - As cyber threats grow in both sophistication and malice, industries face a persistent challenge in recruiting professionals skilled in protecting digital infrastructure.
Canisius University is responding to this talent crunch by offering a new MS in cybersecurity.
The program is the only technology-based master’s level cybersecurity curriculum in Western New York. It’s further distinguished by coursework that leads to relevant certifications, making graduates immediately more marketable to industries in need of professionals able to perform information security risk assessment, identify potential threats and develop threat mitigation strategies.
3+3 Accelerated BA/BS Plus JD
At the undergraduate level, a new collaboration between Canisius and the University at Buffalo (UB) School of Law gives students an opportunity to get a head start on their legal careers – at less cost.
A 3+3 Accelerated BA/BS Plus JD program became available to first-year students this fall. The initiative, open to candidates from a variety of majors, enables them to complete their bachelor’s and juris doctorate degrees in six years, rather than the traditional seven.
Canisius’ pre-law portion of the program provides students with foundational knowledge and hands-on experiences via law-related internships. Candidates are also advised by Canisius faculty to ensure they complete all academic requirements toward their majors by the end of their junior years, as necessitated in order to transfer to UB. Students in the program must also maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or higher.
