B.S. in Cyber Security Engineering

The Bachelor of Science in Cyber Security Engineering (BS-CYSE) prepares students to design and build cyber-resilient systems that protect both physical and digital assets, including computer and network infrastructures.

With a proactive focus on integrating cybersecurity into engineering design from the start, the program equips students with a strong foundation in mathematics, science, and systems engineering. Graduates are prepared to apply this critical discipline across industries such as transportation, energy, healthcare, infrastructure, finance, government, and defense.

The BS-CYSE is is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, and is best suited for students with a solid background in mathematics and science.
