CYBERSECURITY

Defend the Digital World: Start Your Cybersecurity Career Here!

We live in a digital world—and that means cybersecurity skills are more important than ever. The Cybersecurity program introduces students to the tools and techniques used to protect information, networks, and systems from cyber threats. Whether you're interested in a career in tech or just want to understand how to stay safe online, this program helps you build a strong foundation in cybersecurity, networking, and computer hardware. Students learn by doing—configuring routers, designing secure networks, and building simple applications—all while developing skills in critical thinking, troubleshooting, and problem solving.

Throughout the program, students explore everything from the OSI model and network topologies to how to build secure systems and manage user access. You'll work with commercial and open-source software, write basic code using logic and algorithms, and learn to identify and stop potential threats. Along the way, students develop communication and professional skills to prepare them for real-world tech environments.
