The Bachelor of Science in Cybersecurity Management is designed to prepare undergraduates with the knowledge and hands-on experience to gain employment in the cybersecurity management field or to pursue an advanced degree. Cybersecurity is increasingly important to society at every level - individuals and families, small firms and organizations, large corporations and not-for-profits, and government, both domestically and internationally. To prepare students for work in these varied areas, the cybersecurity management program provides a structured curriculum with coursework not only in cybersecurity, but also in business management, computer science, and homeland and international security. Through this multi-disciplinary approach, students will (1) gain analytical and problem-solving skills, (2) become competent professionals through hands-on learning, (3) be able to recognize information security risks and develop threat defenses, and (4) aspire to be leaders in an ever-growing industry of security technologies and their management.
The cybersecurity management program embeds critical thinking skills, decision-making related to technology issues, effective communication skills, and legal, ethical, and social sustainability perspectives. In addition, the program provides a solid foundation in the liberal arts through a general education curriculum, management skills from a core of business courses, and experiential learning opportunities, including internships. The program prepares individuals to enter the workforce in entry-level supervisory roles leading to management.
