Engineering-Concentration in Security, PhD

The Department of Computer Science offers the PhD in Security Degree Program since 2008 for students who are interested in research security areas. The nation-wide unique specialty offers the security curriculum for students to study and conduct multi-disciplinary research in areas of cyber security, physical security, and homeland security, which have become critical and increasingly urgent in today’s personal, business, and government operations. This new multi-disciplinary concentration integrates the existing curriculum and research initiatives, and meets the grand challenges of security with the quality expected from the University of Colorado.
