Cybersecurity is a multidisciplinary domain that involves technical issues, security policies, regulation, and law. Our integrated curriculum incorporates coursework from SCI and Pitt's School of Law and Graduate School of Public and International Affairs (GSPIA). Our students develop comprehensive cybersecurity policies and strengthen cybersecurity ecosystems to minimize risk.
As part of the certificate’s multidisciplinary approach, the certificate requires courses to be taken from all three Pitt schools. Students must complete a minimum of three courses from SCI, one course from GSPIA, and one course from the School of Law to earn the certificate.
