About This Program

The flagship educational experience offered by Johns Hopkins University in the area of information security and assurance is represented by the Master of Science in Security Informatics (M.S.S.I.) degree. A wide range of courses is available in support of this unique and innovative graduate program. The M.S.S.I. is a full-time day program offered in partnership with the Department of Computer Science on the Homewood Campus in North Baltimore. Most students complete the program in three full-time, residential semesters of which two full-time, resident semesters as a graduate student are required. Students interested in part-time/remote (nonresidential) study should refer to the Engineering for Professionals program. M.S.S.I. students are not normally eligible for tuition waivers, but may be able to work on campus up to 19.99 hours per week for hourly rates if they find campus employment through the University Experiential Learning office. While teaching and research assistant positions are available only to enrolled PhD students, there are positions available to M.S.S.I. students, such as course assistants, or a variety of other roles across the university. The CS course assistant application opens prior to the start of each semester for specific courses in need.
