Cybersecurity, Minor


As the scope of cyberspace is becoming more complex with the emergence of new engineering innovations and technologies.  The need and significance of cyber defense education and research from the early undergraduate stage cannot be overlooked. To meet the increasing demand for cybersecurity experts with operational knowledge in next-generation smart systems, this cybersecurity minor is designed to prepare undergraduate students to mitigate vulnerabilities in the national digital infrastructure with in-depth, hands-on technical expertise in cyber defense.

The Minor in Cybersecurity is open to all students at the university. Completion of minor requirements may require completion of additional courses as prerequisites.

A minor in both cybersecurity and interdisciplinary cybersecurity is not allowed.
