Cybersecurity (CYBR) is a fast-growing, cutting-edge discipline focused on solving challenges related to creating, deploying, maintaining, and securing information systems. As our world becomes increasingly digital and interconnected through computers and the internet, protecting sensitive data has become critically important. Insufficient security measures in information systems are recognized as potential barriers to realizing a fully digital society. The University of Nebraska at Omaha provides one of the nation's rare NSA-accredited undergraduate Cybersecurity programs, designated as a National Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Operations (CAE-CO). This prestigious recognition enables IS&T College students pursuing Cybersecurity to specialize in the Cyber Operations pathway, aligning with NSA's CAE-CO standards. Current Cybersecurity bachelor's degree students can easily transition to this specialized track with minimal additional coursework requirements.
