The growing number of cyberattacks on national and organizational information technology infrastructures highlights the rapidly growing demand for professionally trained experts in cybersecurity. The undergraduate certificate in Cybersecurity introduces students to the knowledge and skills needed to enter the field of cybersecurity.

Upon completion of this certificate, graduates should be able to:

  • Apply cybersecurity tools and methods to defend systems and organizations against cyber attacks.
  • Prevent cybersecurity threats and attacks and mitigate the impact of vulnerabilities.

The 12-credit undergraduate certificate is designed as a standalone stackable credential. Credits can also be applied to the 120-credit B.S. in Cybersecurity, or as electives in another B.S. program.
