Greetings Friends, I know there is one sticky thread on Cybersecurity Graduate programs, but most of the programs posted there are On-line or Distant learning programs. I am specifically looking for On-Campus program which I am having a hard time in finding, So far I have found programs at these Universities, USC Viterbi School of Engineering, DePaul University, Illinois Institute of Technology, Davenport University, Bellevue University, Stevens Institute of Technology, Dakota State University, University of Houston. and I'm not even sure if some of these programs are offered On-Campus. I shall be very thankful to you if you can post some Best Cybersecurity On-campus programs for International students in USA. Best Regards, Sufiyan Ghori
Most of the B&M universities and colleges offer on-campus program before going for distance learning. The best option for you is choosing a particular school you want to attend, then go to its website to find out about the program. What are your criteria? - School reputation? - International student friendly in term of student visa process? - cost effective? A local university here in Northern Virginia, aka George Mason University has good Cyber Security program also very international student friendly. You see some international students work part-time at the school. Here is the list: http://www.gradschools.com/search-programs/campus-programs/computer-security/united-states
First of all, Thank you very much for taking your time in responding to my question. My first priority is, The University must be friendly in term of Visa process for International Student. and Ofcourse, School reputation does matter, as long as its tuition Fee is in the range of my Total budget. It merits mentioning, that i can pay around $10,000 for a Semester as long as University has some decent reputation and have a good Cybersecurity program which may help me building practical skills. I'd also like to mention that Cybersecurity is my passion, Eventhough I'm not the Computer Science student, still, I have some decent developments in Computer programming. Looking foreward for your reply. Best Regards, Sufiyan Ghori
