Curriculum Prepares Graduates to Succeed in Field Expected to Have 3.5 Million Job Openings

BOILING SPRINGS, N.C.鈥擜ccording to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the number of individuals employed within the cybersecurity sector is slated to grow 31% by the year 2029, which far exceeds the average for all other occupations. In anticipation of the demand for these jobs, 成人视频 is introducing a cybersecurity major in the traditional undergraduate (TUG) program and 成人视频 Online.

A degree in cybersecurity will provide students with the foundations to identify and protect against digital security threats. They will learn crucial techniques to outthink cybercriminals, as well as the technology to support governments and top organizations in their efforts to maintain and secure data.

鈥淭he curriculum is based on the standards of the National Security Agency and should prepare graduates for the professional certification tests in the field,鈥� noted Professor of Mathematics and Chair of the Department of Mathematical Sciences, Dr. Bob Bass. 鈥淚mportantly, many of the required courses for this cybersecurity major are already within the traditional undergraduate computer science major. Computer science majors can supplement their resume with the endorsement of a full set of the coursework for cybersecurity.鈥�

Courses provide training in programming languages, operating systems, computer and network security, database management, data communications, and cybercrime. Classes include topics to help prepare students for CompTIA (Computing Technology Industry Association) A+, Server+, Network+, Security+ and PenTest+ exams; however, these exams are not a requirement of the program.

Students will graduate with the skills needed to succeed in a field that is expected to have 3.5 million job openings in 2025, as reported by Cybersecurity Ventures. Bass added, 鈥淏y mid-career, individuals in this field can expect to earn a median annual salary over $100,000 per year.鈥�
