Abstract
This paper presents the North Dakota State University's (NDSU) new graduate-level research methods course focused on cybersecurity. This course combines scholarly article and popular technical press readings, an online discussion board, seminar-style discussions during class meeting times and a semester-long research project. The paper explains the context for this course, its role in NDSU's graduate programs and the factors that led to course creation. The types of content that were included are discussed and the discussion board questions and resources are included as an appendix.
