Hey guys last week I dedicated a day to searching for a cyber security Masters that had a direction more into penetration testing. Most were just computer science with specialization in cyber security with a class or 2 that were related to penetration testing. Then I stumbled upon this University of Washington Bothell . And I wanted to get a few others opinion if this is more in direction that I have been thinking. I believe it is, but I'm not a 100% sure. Thanks for any replies in advance!

I'm liking the Dakota State one more for the fact that not only does it have defensive/offensive classes in the required Core Classes, but they also have more (in the ethical hacking certificate) that if I decide to get there use those three classes as my electives. Thank you so much for replying I love the fact I have more options I plan to keep looking but those are my top two choices now with Dakota on top!
