George Mason University Cyber Security Engineering Program

Hello everyone,

I’m a HS senior very interested in cyber security. Not to sound cocky but we don’t really need to talk about my stats. I really want to hear from someone in the program (because it’s so new) or someone who knows about recidivism rates, getting internships/jobs out of it. I’m really drawn to the program, especially the courses, but I just want to make sure it’s quality. Could you also comment on how good the professors are/the mood of the degree program? Are the students super stressed or are the classes a joke, etc.

Also, is anyone reading from the area dubbed “The Silicon Valley of Cyber Security” who could comment on how easy/hard it is to get an entry security analyst job period?

Thanks!

Im in the exact same place you are, made an account just to respond to this now. As of this moment i have to decide on this or Purdue, and its hard to tell where id be better off
