Digital Forensics
Arizona State University (ASU) has been designated as a National Center of Academic Excellence in Cybersecurity (CAE-C) by the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA).
You begin at Shiv Nadar University (SNU) in Delhi-NCR — recognized by the Government of India as an “Institution of Eminence.”During this phase, you’ll study the Arizona State University (ASU) U.S. curriculum online, with classes held over the weekends — making it ideal for working professionals and recent graduates.
You build a strong foundation across key domains like network security, cryptography, ethical hacking, cloud security, cyber defense strategies, digital forensics, and risk management — grounded in real-world applications and industry-standard tools.
You're also fully trained for the U.S. visa interview — with everything from documentation to mock rounds handled end-to-end.
After 6 months, you’ll be equipped — academically, personally, and with visa application guidance — to pursue the final 12 months in the U.S.
For the next 12 months, you move to Arizona State University (ASU) — ranked #2 in the U.S. for employability among public universities*.
Alongside academics, you’ll receive structured career training — from building a strong resume and portfolio to preparing for interviews and internships.
These 12 months equip you with the skills and confidence to graduate ready — and take the next step: working in the U.S. through OPT (Optional Practical Training), a work authorization valid for up to 3 years.
*As per the Global Employability University Ranking and Survey, 2025.
You finish your Master’s (MS) in Software Engineering (Cybersecurity), a STEM-designated program, making you eligible to apply for OPT work authorization in the U.S.
This gives you the opportunity to pursue roles with leading employers — where ASU graduates have secured positions — including Amazon, American Express, Apple, Intel, Microsoft, Deloitte, Goldman Sachs, Oracle, EY-Parthenon, and KPMG.
Since the first six months are based in India, your tuition and living costs are up to 40% lower compared to a fully residential program in the U.S.
This gives you more time to plan, save, and manage your expenses step by step.
If you're among the first 25 students to apply, you can get a no-collateral education loan that covers up to 100% of college fees and on-campus student housing (hostel).
You won’t have to fund everything upfront—giving you time to plan.
