Why this program is listed

Concentration is named on the program page, but its required courses are only in the catalog, which could not be accessed (bot challenge); the page also refers to an 'Information Protection and Security' concentration. Included by the owner (bulk decision, 12 October 2026).

The M.S. in National Security lists a Defensive Cyber Intelligence Concentration; the program page describes concentration study in cybersecurity and the protection of information systems.
