Cybersecurity
This program is designed to give you the first two years of a bachelor’s degree.
What You'll Learn
Protect the technology that powers our world.
Most two-year cybersecurity programs focus entirely on the technical side or the theoretical side. Our program is a blend of the two. You'll graduate with the ability to configure and defend a network, while also understanding the risk, policy, and compliance side well enough to communicate effectively with company leadership. Employers need both, so that's what we prepare you for.
Lessons in network security, programming, ethical hacking, and artificial intelligence will prepare you for the evolving challenges of digital security. Learn how to identify vulnerabilities, strengthen computer systems and understand how organizations defend against cyber threats. With coursework in AI prompt engineering, organizational cybersecurity, and the opportunity to complete an internship or capstone project, you'll develop the necessary technical and problem-solving skills.
Whether your goal is to transfer to a 4-year school to continue toward a Bachelor's degree or to enter the workforce right away, we'll get you ready.
