A recent study identified a disturbing trend in American higher education: None of the top 10 undergraduate computer-science programs in the United States – and only three of the top 5 – require students to take a single course on cybersecurity as a prerequisite for graduation.
The University of Alabama was the exception as the only one of more than 120 schools examined by the IT-security company CloudPassage that requires computer-science majors to take three or more cybersecurity courses.
