随着互联网和信息技术的不断发展，大数据与云计算技术变得越来越普及。技术的发展出了给我们生活带来便利之外，也不断衍生出数据隐私与数据安全等问题。于是信息安全或网络安全正在成为一项热门学科，同时这个领域对人才的需求也在与日俱增。
如果未来想从事信息安全行业，除了可以申请常规的计算机科学以外，还有很多学校专门开设网络安全或信息安全的硕士学位。今天为大家介绍的是
约翰霍普金斯大学（JHU）的信息安全硕士专业。
JHU的信息安全硕士，全称为Master of Science in Security Informatics (MSSI)。该项目开设在JHU Whiting工学院下面的信息安全研究院（Information Security Institute），包含两个分支方向：Technology & Research Track和Policy & Management Track。两个分支方向的具体课程安排和要求如下：
Technology & Research Track
- Five Technology courses: at least four Core Technology courses including at least one Core Technology course in Cryptography.
- Three Core Policy/Management/Health courses: at least one Core Policy course and one Core Management course.
- Two additional courses from Core or Elective Technology categories; or when deemed appropriate relative to a student’s background, interests, and goals AND with the prior approval of the faculty advisor and the program, from other course areas.
Policy & Management Track
- Three Technology courses: at least two Core Technology courses including at least one Core Technology course in Cryptography.
- Five Core/Foundational Policy/Health/Management courses: at least one course from each of Core Policy/Management/Health categories and at least one Foundational Management course.
- Two additional courses from Core/Elective Technology or Core/Foundational Policy/Management/Health categories; or when deemed appropriate relative to a student’s background, interests, and goals AND with the prior approval of the faculty advisor and the program, from other course areas.
该项目申请难度要低于JHU的计算机科学与工程。如果未来想从事CS或网络安全相关工作且希望拿到一个名校学位，可以考虑申请。
