About
The B.S. Cybersecurity program serves to train student to enter into the cybersecurity field, offered jointly by the Howard R. Hughes College of Engineering and Lee Business School. Currently, there is a demand at the local, state, regional, and national levels for individuals to be trained in the knowledge of computers, networks, and risk and security management. This has been identified by the Department of Labor and other sources as one of the most needed professions/skills, yet the traditional sources of such skills (i.e., higher education) is not producing graduates as fast as this field is growing.
