Another poster listed the curriculum. As a security professional from a top software company I am not really impressed.
The curriculum is as follows (tech specialization, the others are worse):
1 intro to security
1 intro to policy
1 hands on lab
1 crypto
1 netsec
2 it security
choice of (2):
basic CS courses (i.e. mobile apps, operating systems)
None of that will help you get a job at any company with a serious security org. All of those courses from what I could find are the same introductory level electives you can get in your BS degree in CS.
It is not a specialized program, it is more of an introduction to security and CS at the MS level.
Things that would help:
Client XSS, Authentication / Session Management, Secure client/server architecture, defining access boundaries, phishing / social engineering, red team / blue team setup, automated vulnerability regression tests, SSDL, threat modeling, etc.
