If you are looking for a degree with more flexibility that could lead to a broader set of career
options outside of cyber security, or want to explore topics such as finance and operations, an
MBA could be the right choice.

What If You Could Get the Best of Both Worlds?

There is a third option. Rather than simply choosing between a master’s degree in cyber
security or an MBA, consider a degree that combines the two.

If you are looking to benefit from both the leadership and management aspects of an MBA as
well as the technical, theoretical and tactical components of a cyber security degree, your best
option may be a degree in cyber security operations and leadership.

This degree gives you the best of both worlds by building on your bachelor’s degree and your
field experience to give you a deeper understating of tools and tactics for defeating adversaries,
plus leadership and management skills specific to the cyber security field.

The University of San Diego, a leader in cyber security education, offers this degree 100%

Deciding what degree is right for you depends largely on your objectives and goals. By looking
closely at what each program offers and aligning the objectives of each with your own career
and educational goals, you will be able to find the best degree path for you.
