Eligible students participate in a 14-week work practicum placement in the cybersecurity industry to provide them with relevant practical experience, learn on-the-job procedures, and develop valuable contacts.
Work practicum is a mandatory component of the program. Students must meet all program eligibility criteria to qualify for practicum.

In such situations, MITT will explore alternative options for program completion with a student.

Although the institution strives to have the website reflect the most current version of all programs, MITT reserves the right to change the program curriculum as necessary to meet industry and accreditation requirements. As a result, course information and learning outcomes may be adjusted prior to the scheduled course start date.
