Cleveland State University offers a cutting-edge interdisciplinary graduate certificate in Cybersecurity & Data Privacy that prepare students to work in these fast-growing fields. The increasing number and sophistication of cyber-attacks on private and public organizations combined with a growing and complex array of data security and privacy regulations at the state, national and international levels have made data security and privacy protection one of the hottest new fields in the legal profession. Traditional law firms are adding or expanding data security and privacy practices and entirely new job categories requiring legal expertise are emerging as more organizations recognize the need to proactively manage their data security and compliance risks.
Flexible Online Option. CSU offers a flexible, asynchronous, online option to accommodate working professionals and students from outside Northeast Ohio seeking the graduate certificate.
Stackable Credential. All of the credits in this program can be used to complete the online Master of Legal Studies (MLS) in Cybersecurity & Data Privacy and other CSU graduate degrees.
Admission Information
