Program Description
Through hands-on lab activities, case study analyses, and research projects, students will enhance their information security understanding and develop their interpersonal, communication, organizational, and problem-solving skills. This program will also include three co-operative education work placements to further enhance all of those skills.
Students will begin by exploring foundational topics in the cyber security courses, including information security, ethics, network management/analysis, programming and scripting, operating systems, and database management. Building on those foundational topics, the curriculum will also develop their skills in the areas of risk analysis, cryptography, vulnerability testing, access control implementation, and security audit performance.
Upon completion of the program, students will be able to proactively implement critical infrastructure and sound security practices in any organization to mitigate cyber threats and respond quickly to security breaches on sensitive information.
The Cyber Security program offers a cooperative education component, which provides students with the opportunity to gain invaluable first-hand work experience in their chosen field.
