Starting in March, learners can begin the RIT Cybersecurity MicroMasters program with edX. Upon completing the five-part program and earning a MicroMasters credential, learners can apply to RIT and may be awarded nine credit hours toward their degree requirements—making up nearly one third of a master’s program. The program is currently open for enrollment, with the first offering beginning March 21. “We still don’t have enough professionals to protect our infrastructure,” said Bo Yuan, chair of RIT’s Department of Computing Security. “This MicroMasters program is a terrific opportunity for RIT to engage with edX’s more than 9 million global learners and encourage more workers to become qualified in cybersecurity.” RIT’s MicroMasters program in Cybersecurity will provide learners with the expertise in network security and forensics needed for a cybersecurity position in enterprise environments.
