Graduate Certificate in Information Security Management and Auditing

University of Missouri - St. Louis

On campus living is currently optional, but quarantine seems to have made this year’s freshman class less ready for off campus living. We want to make sure that they have a support system in place, which they will have in the dorms.

The Graduate Certificate in Information Security Management and Auditing is a 12-credit- hour program that can be completed in as few as two semesters (taking 6 credit hours per semester) or up to four semesters (taking 3 credit hours per semester). It is designed for working professionals with backgrounds in business administration, accounting, and information systems. The program helps students prepare for CISA and CISM industry certifications. Additionally, this certificate program fulfills 4 course requirements for the MS in Information Systems and Technology, and for the MS in Cybersecurity with Information Systems and Technology emphasis making it a great way to gain expertise and credentials while considering further graduate studies.

Upon completing the certificate, students will be able to develop, maintain and update an organization’s information security policies to meet security and compliance requirements; select and execute appropriate security mechanisms to implement security policies; evaluate and maintain information systems for secure and reliable operations by employing appropriate risk management strategies; and communicate effectively with internal and external stakeholders about cybersecurity.
