The Bachelor of Science degree in Cybersecurity prepares the next generation of cyber defenders: white hat hackers, threat analysts, and cryptologists. The program develops analytical skills while putting theory into practice with hands-on training. Courses in Cybersecurity cover both offensive and defensive techniques, with a dual focus on both theory and research. Cybersecurity majors will be expected to meet the following program outcomes: • Develop skills in secure programming, compliance, and evidence handling. • Evaluate the performance of the security penetration tools to enhance system defenses in virtual environments. • Understand intrusion network detection methodologies, tools, and approaches to incident responses, including computer forensic principles, registry structures, and file system concepts. • Acquire the knowledge and training to prepare and pass the industry standard cybersecurity certification, including CompTIA Security+, CEH, CISSP, etc.

The outcomes for the Cybersecurity major are assessed through a combination of written and performance examinations, written and performance assignments, practicum and internship supervisor evaluations, and a completed capstone project.
