When it comes to the cybersecurity field everything is in movement. Nothing stays the same. To operate in this dynamic industry requires a certain level of flexibility and a whole lot of desire to continue learning and growing as you journey through your career. This ever-changing nature is what excites Sameer Khanna, M.P.S. ’15, cybersecurity alum.
We sat down with Sameer to discuss his experience as a graduate student in the cybersecurity graduate program.
I went to boarding school in India until about 2010. After that point, I ventured to the United Kingdom to study for my undergraduate degree. I attended The University of Exeter and studied IT management for business. This three-year program prepared me for an exciting venture into the field of cybersecurity. Upon graduating, I learned of UMBC’s program and was accepted. I began my studies as a graduate student here in 2013 and graduated in 2015 with my master’s of professional studies degree in cybersecurity.
