Cybersecurity and Modern Networks
Be the frontline defense against cyber-crimes and hackers with a degree in cybersecurity and modern networks.
Cybersecurity and Modern Networks (CSMN) supplements the core curriculum with courses in secure software development and systems deployment; cloud, wireless, and mobile computing; and sensor-based (Internet of Things) computing. This concentration is designed for students who wish to pursue careers in computer security and in networking-enabled application development. This concentration is also recommended for those who plan to do graduate work in cybersecurity.
Learning Outcomes
Graduates with the Bachelor of Science in Computing with a concentration in Cybersecurity and Modern Networks will have the ability to::
- Analyze a complex computing problem and apply principles of computing and other relevant disciplines to identify solutions.
- Design, implement, and evaluate a computing-based solution to meet a given set of computing requirements in the context of the program's discipline.
- Communicate effectively in a variety of professional contexts.
- Recognize professional responsibilities and make informed judgments in computing practice based on legal and ethical principles.
