CLEVELAND (September 16, 2019). Cleveland State University College of Law has launched a fully online Master of Legal Studies (MLS). This program is designed for non-lawyers who work regularly with laws and regulations and will help individuals understand the significant legal and business risks posed by cybersecurity, data security, and data privacy.
“We are very proud of C|M|LAW’s national leadership in legal technology education,” – C|M|LAW Dean Lee Fisher. “Professor Brian Ray, who directs our Center for Cybersecurity and Privacy Protection, worked closely with leading practitioners in the field to develop a program that will equip our graduates with the knowledge and skills necessary to enter—or advance their careers—in these fast-growing fields.”
A Program With National Recognition
The online MLS is the latest offering in CSU College of Law’s robust legal technology program. The Center for Cybersecurity and Privacy Protection at CSU College of Law was established in 2016. Furthermore, it has earned national recognition for its innovative approach. This approach integrates law, business, technology, and managerial approaches to address cybersecurity and privacy risks. Each year the Center hosts a national conference that convenes prominent leaders from government, business, technology, and law. These leaders address multidisciplinary strategic approaches to addressing cyber and privacy issues.
“We realized there was a critical need for technologists and business executives to better understand the legal and strategic dimensions of effective cybersecurity,” said Professor Ray. “Students in this program will not only receive the high quality, innovative curriculum but also have access to a professional network we’ve spent years building.”
Students may complete the required 30-credit hour program through either full or part-time study, entirely online. Also, more information about the program and how to apply are available at csulawonline.com or by calling 216.687.2328.
