Information Technology-Cybersecurity, BS
Become a frontline defender against cyber threats with the online BSIT – Cybersecurity program.This STEM-certified program provides you with a solid foundation in the theories, tools, and techniques needed for success in the growing field of cybersecurity.
Through a well-rounded curriculum that balances theory and analysis with practical application, you will gain expertise in key areas such as ethical hacking, applied cryptography, and system security. You will learn JavaScript and Python— the two most popular programming languages—to analyze data and implement network and web application security. This program also emphasizes various methods and models for protecting data stored in the cloud.
Our online program highlights hands-on learning experiences, enabling you to gain valuable skills in penetration testing, vulnerability assessment, and incident response. You will learn to use vital technologies such as access controls, firewalls, and VPNs to safeguard sensitive data and maintain the security of all systems. Upon graduation, you will be prepared to detect and eliminate network vulnerabilities and data breaches. Additionally, this program equips you with the knowledge and skills needed to pursue industry-recognized certifications, further enhancing your marketability in the competitive field of cybersecurity.
In our computer science programs, students learn in-demand skills that employers have identified as critical for job candidates, including:
-Computer science theory and software development fundamentals to produce computing-based solutions
-Major programming domains and programming languages
-Analysis of and solutions to complex computing problems, among others
The Department of Computer Science offers study in both the theory of computer science and its applications—leading to the BS degree in computer science, which is internationally accredited by ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology), or the practical, hands-on BS degree in information technology (IT). Students in the program have the opportunity to engage in research using specialized campus facilities outfitted with state-of-the-art computing technologies.
