Cybersecurity safeguards internet-connected systems, encompassing hardware, software, and data against digital threats. This program equips students with both theoretical understanding and practical skills. Upon completion, graduates can oversee and implement security measures while ensuring adherence to legal standards, regulations, and organizational policies. They gain the ability to transform security protocols into actionable technical implementations.
The Bachelor's of Applied Science in Cybersecurity addresses the growing industry demand for skilled systems administrators and security analysts by creating an educational bridge for those holding two-year IT associate degrees. This degree's development was influenced by Bureau of Labor Statistics research indicating bachelor's degrees have become the baseline requirement for many IT roles. Consequently, both new students and current IT practitioners increasingly require bachelor-level education. With annually refreshed coursework aligned with industry needs, you'll master security system oversight, compliance management, and the conversion of security policies into technical frameworks. The program also trains students in essential system administration functions like interoperability, automation, virtualization, and data storage management.
