Cybersecurity Degree Track
Technology is playing a increasingly significant role in our society. Organizations are becoming more dependent on sophisticated information systems, mobile technologies, the Internet of Things, machine learning and cloud computing. All of these technologies and systems, however, are vulnerable to cybersecurity attacks.
Cybersecurity is one of the fastest-growing fields, and is projected to expand in the US by 28% through 2026*. The number of cybersecurity positions that need to be filled is skyrocketing, and there is a large demand for IT professionals that specialize in cybersecurity who can devise strategies to protect organizational assets from cyberattacks.
