Then, in the junior year, students progress into advanced coursework in one of two tracks:
- Network and Cloud Security Track emphasizes network defense, cloud and virtualized environments, secure systems design, cryptography and incident response.
- Cyber Risk and Policy Track emphasizes cybersecurity governance, risk assessment, secure programming, operating systems and network security.
