Webster University in Irvine will offer a master’s degree program in cybersecurity starting in late October.
It started the program at a Colorado Springs campus in 2014 at the request of the U.S. military and has since expanded it to other campuses in its system.
Job postings in cybersecurity jobs have grown 74% since 2007, according to a recent report by labor market data analytics firm Burning Glass Technologies in Boston.
Webster’s program will emphasize topics including digital information protection, and electronic-based terrorism and fraud.
It also offers an online certificate in cybersecurity threat detection.
