Program Information - Cyber Security
Overview of Program Information
Cybersecurity is the study of methods to ensure information and system security. Industry and government need an educated workforce to serve as information and systems security analysts, security and network administrators and more.
Due their extensive expertise and facilities, the departments of Information Technology and Operations Management (in the College of Business), Computer and Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (In the College of Engineering and Computer Science) and Mathematical Sciences (in the College of Science) have jointly designed the Cybersecurity Minor and Certificate.
Three tracks, each requiring 12 credits, constitute the minor and certificate:
- Information Technology (IT), Computer Science (CS) and Mathematical Sciences (MS).
- For more information about the CS track, reach out to the Computer and Electrical Engineering and Computer Science department
- For more information about the MS track, reach out to the Mathematical Sciences department
