Kobe MSIT-IS Curriculum

The Kobe MSIT-IS aims to prepare students to become leaders in the ever-changing field of information security. By selecting from a variety of management and technical courses, students can customize their studies depending on their background and career aspirations.

The curriculum of the Kobe MSIT-IS has been designed to provide students with a core set of knowledge in security technology & management and a variety of technology and management electives to further enhance their knowledge of the information security. The program consists of 7 core courses and the equivalent of 4 semester-length elective courses, as well as one research-related security project, for a total of 144 units.

Important notes on the Curriculum Requirements:

• Technical coursework (all courses numbered 14-xxx) requires proficiency in C or C++ and UNIX basics. If strong background problems exist, additional recitations may be performed by Teaching Assistants and co-instructors.

• Electives generally rotate from year to year. If an elective is not offered during a student's first year, it will likely be offered during the student's second year and vice versa
