Our new BS in cybersecurity will blend mathematics and computer science along with key knowledge in digital security. Cybersecurity is a growing field with a strong need for qualified individuals in the workforce. There are cyber attacks every day in the news, from the 2016 election to the breaches in Equifax and Target. We are hoping to pair with industry to train students to keep people’s information safe.”
