Western's Cybersecurity bachelor's degree provides a comprehensive grounding in security fundamentals and computing, equipping you to excel in this fast-growing, high-demand field. Through partnerships with eight community colleges and strong industry ties, Western's Cybersecurity program stands at the forefront of cybersecurity education.
To address the increasing need for cybersecurity experts, Washington's community colleges and Western's College of Science and Engineering have established one of the country's rare collaborative pathways from community college to university cybersecurity programs. The BS in Cybersecurity follows a 2+2 structure: Students fulfill the initial 90 credits (two years) at a partner community college to earn a Cybersecurity Transfer Degree, then complete their final two years at Western to obtain the BS in Cybersecurity.
