One way we do this is by charging flat-rate tuition and letting you take as many courses as you can complete in a six-month term at no extra cost. The faster you finish your M.S. Cybersecurity and Information Assurance program, the more money you’ll save. We also incorporate certification prep and exams into your coursework to save even more. The program is fully online with no set log in times or test dates, so you can do your coursework anytime, anywhere.
