EC-Council University launches Industry's First Computer Science Master's
Degree Incorporating the Certified Ethical Hacker and Certified Network Defender
Certifications
Pune{Maharastra} | Published : December 8, 2022
EC-Council University (ECCU) today announced a new,
first-of-its-kind online Master of Science degree program in Computer Science
that includes industry-recognized cybersecurity certifications.
Designed to
produce the next generation of cybersecurity professionals capable of defending
against today's new digital threats, the new online program will include the
industry-standard Certified Ethical Hacker cybersecurity certification and has
been designed to the highest level of academic rigor and aims to build
capability in blockchain, robotics, and artificial intelligence technologies in
its graduates.
"EC-Council University's objective in designing this new
program was to prepare graduates to handle the modern threat landscape that
cybersecurity professionals must now confront, and to ensure that they graduate
with all the credentials needed to flourish in critical leadership roles," said
Dr Venus Fisher, Dean and Chief Academic Officer of EC-Council University. "As a
university, EC-Council University is committed to providing contemporary and
relevant online education that will help our graduates play a transformative
role, and this industry-first masters' program inclusive of critical
cybersecurity certifications positions our graduates to make a difference."
The new program, designed to be completed entirely online over an 18 to 24 month
period, is the first of its kind to augment its program with the full official
EC-Council courseware, labs, and instructional videos of EC-Council to prepare
its students to two industry-standard cybersecurity certifications: EC-Council's
Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH), and Certified Network Defender (CND),
certifications which are required for many critical cybersecurity roles in
government and the private sector.
There are 12 separate courses included
in the program, including new material on managing threats posed by blockchain
technologies, robotics, and artificial intelligence (AI). Students who
previously completed CEH or CND will receive academic and financial credit.
"Today's cyber workforce is sorely under-resourced, with industry estimates
suggesting as many as 50 per cent of open jobs presently unfilled in the United
States," said Mark Buck, Vice President of Admissions. "EC-Council University is
attempting to help close this gap by providing graduating professionals
credentialed and capable of defending against new digital threats. The graduates
of EC-Council University's new Master's degree program will be able to make a
real and valuable difference at whatever organizations they serve."
