Four-Year Course Distribution Plan

Cyber Operations Concentration

The Cyber Operations (CO) concentration provides students with a foundation in programming, data structures, networks, security policy and risk, virtualization, malware analysis, and ethical hacking. The Cyber Operations degree merges technical skills with non-technical skills through required and elective courses to provide students with a balanced skillset in areas such as cyber policy, law, and ethics. Upon completion, students will have the opportunity to engage in red-team or blue-team security teams in various government and non-government agencies in support of national security or other such related industries.

Students who are considering the Cyber Operations program should have a strong interest in computers and information technology as it applies to security of data, devices, and networks. Students’ performance in foundational mathematics, sciences, programming, and cyber operations courses will be strong indicators of success in the Cyber Operations program. Students in the program will gain technical skills involving computers and networks, while also gaining non-technical skills in policy, law, and ethics. No prior programming or technical experience is required to be successful in this program.
