Bachelor of Science in Cybersecurity (STEM)

Program Overview

The purpose of the program is to educate graduates so they can obtain an entry-level position in the cyber security field. The cybersecurity field focuses on the protection of networks, data, software and computing resources from unintended or unauthorized changes, access or destruction. Private and public institutions today collect and store tremendous amounts of data which is transported across networks and maintained by multiple computer systems. The data as well as the systems and hardware used to maintain the data and provided strategic and operational support are under attack from criminals and nation-states intent on stealing, damaging or destroying those resources. Additionally, computer systems and hardware may be unintentionally damaged or data released or destroyed by actions of employees. The BSCS will provide students the technical foundation to work in public and private organizations protecting the data, software and hardware resources from criminal and espionage activities. The students will also learn the foundational issues with policy and procedures necessary for organizations to ensure the safe handling of data and management of resources.
