Consider a cybersecurity and operation profession
Our cybersecurity and operation major is intended to equip you with the knowledge and skills to defend computer operating systems, networks, and data from cyber attacks. You will be taught by faculty and experts using both theoretical and hands-on approaches to prepare you for high demand jobs.

Why is this an important major in today’s world?
Cybersecurity is important because it encompasses everything that pertains to protecting our sensitive data, personally identifiable information, protected health information, intellectual property, and governmental and industry information systems from theft and damage attempted by criminals and adversaries.

Cybersecurity risk is increasing, driven by global connectivity and usage of cloud services to store sensitive data and personal information. Improperly configured cloud services and devices paired with increasingly sophisticated cyber criminals means the risk that organizations suffer from cyber attack or data breach is on the rise.
