Cybersecurity professionals are skilled in computer networks and systems, computer programming, and information management.听 The Bureau of Labor Statistics highlights Cyber Security as an occupation growing 鈥渕uch faster than average鈥�, with a projected growth of 32% in 2023. The average salary for Cybersecurity professionals is over $110,000/yr. The Cybersecurity major consists of a rigorous curriculum which delivers core computer programming instruction, depth in computing software and architecture design, breadth in computer science and information management sub-disciplines, along with critical coursework in ethics and technology.

The major requires students to complete core cybersecurity coursework 鈥� including 100-200 level foundational computer science courses, an ethics / law course, an information technology course, five upper-level specialization courses, and a capstone. Additionally, students must take two courses in Mathematics and 4 electives.
