Critical infrastructure resilience
Certificate, graduate
Plug into cyber defense
As the demand for a skilled and knowledgeable cybersecurity workforce continues to grow — particularly in sectors tied to our nation's critical infrastructure — there’s an increasing need for clear pathways to advanced study and recognition. If you're pursuing graduate studies in fields like technology management, computer science, electrical and computer engineering or nuclear engineering — or even if you're a working professional not currently seeking a degree — you may be eligible to earn the critical infrastructure resilience graduate certificate.
The certificate includes a foundational course, and a selection of electives grouped by focus: Group One explores the fundamentals of security and risk management, Group Two offers domain-specific engineering foundations for cyber-physical systems, and Group Three focuses on essential computer security concepts and skills. This structure gives you the flexibility to tailor your learning while gaining depth in your expertise across disciplines.
