Strayer University's Master of Science in Information Security and Assurance designated as a National Center for Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense

The National Security Agency and the Department of Homeland Security announce the institution’s designation through 2027

The National Security Agency and Department of Homeland Security recently announced the designation of Strayer University’s Master of Science in Information Security and Assurance (MSISA) program as a National Center for Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense (CAE-CD) for five years, through the academic year 2027. The designation is awarded to educational institutions that meet the newest standards for cybersecurity.

“The CAE-CD designation is a testament to the quality of our MSISA program and Strayer’s commitment to prepare our students in this ever-changing and relevant discipline,” said Dr. Carlo Sapijaszko, Strayer University’s Dean for Information Technology. “We thank our faculty and leadership team for their hard work toward this achievement, which will greatly benefit our students."

The purpose of the CAE designation program is to promote higher education in cyber defense, increase the workforce of professionals holding these skills, and highlight the importance of higher education as a solution to defending America’s cyberspace. The new CAE-CD designation is based on updated academic criteria for cybersecurity education and allows each institution the opportunity to distinguish its strengths in specific focus areas.

“Strayer University is proud to have our Master of Science in Information Security and Assurance program designated as a National Center for Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense,” said Strayer University President Andréa Backman. “This designation reflects our commitment to delivering high-quality, industry-relevant programs to help our students achieve economic mobility through education."
