About the Department:
Established in 2019, the Cyber Security Engineering Department
(first of its kind) is focused on academics and research for the
cyber security engineering of integrated cyber-physical systems.
The mission of the department is to develop proactive approaches in
engineering design of physical systems with cyber security
incorporated from the beginning to the end of the system
development life cycle. Cyber security engineering is an important
quantitative methodology to be used in all industries to include,
but not limited to, transportation, energy, healthcare,
infrastructure, finance, government (federal, state, and local),
manufacturing and defense.
The department prepares students with a foundation in cyber
security engineering and is most appropriate for students with a
strong mathematics, science and computing background. Accordingly,
the department is dedicated to creating a premier body of faculty
open to applying diverse engineering scientific methods in
providing well engineered resilient systems. Not surprisingly, the
department has been consistently highly ranked in diverse venues.
Recently, Cybersecurity Talent Discovery by SANS Technology
Institute in a nationwide Cyber FastTrack field of 5,200 U.S.
colleges ranked the department as the 1st in the nation, while
CyberDegrees.org ranked us as the 8th among all cybersecurity
schools and the US News and Report 2023 rankings lists us as 10th
in the nation among public schools (up from 15th in 2022). Our CYSE
BS has been ranked 2nd best cybersecurity program by OnlineU, the
4th in the nation by GetCollegeCredit.com, and 9th in the nation by
EduRank. Quality in education is also reflected in the various
competitions our students participate with undeniable success,
winning or being among the top finalists in venues such as the
Virginia Cyber Range / VMI Cyber Fusion Competition and others in
both national and state stages.

In conjunction with Amazon's decision to establish a second
headquarters in Northern Virginia, the Commonwealth of Virginia
announced a multi-year plan to invest in the growth of degree
programs in computing. George Mason University has committed to
accelerate its plans to increase its capacity in engineering and
computing. Some of the university's exciting plans are the launch
of the Institute for Digital InnovAtion, a university think tank
