This program is designed for nontechnical degree holders who are looking to improve their knowledge in cybersecurity, increase their job prospects and earning potential, or take the first step toward a graduate degree in the cybersecurity field.

Keeping our critical cyber infrastructure secure while maintaining privacy is a priority.
