A double Program of the Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science and the Naveen Jindal School of Management.

The demand for improved cybersecurity education is a critical need in bolstering America’s future workforce. Today, the United States faces a deficit in the number of cybersecurity professionals, and predictions of the growing need are worrisome. Studies indicate a need for several hundred thousand new information security professionals within the next two years.

In addressing this growing critical demand, the Certificate in Cybersecurity Systems (CCSS) offered at UT Dallas provides a double program between the Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science (ECS) and the Naveen Jindal School of Management (JSOM). The CCSS is an interdisciplinary program with two specialized tracks: emphasis in Computer Science and Cyber Security Management emphasis.
