All regionally accredited two-year, four-year and graduate-level institutions in the U.S. are eligible to apply to become a CAE-CD school. Institutions are designated based on their robust degree programs and close alignment to specific cybersecurity-related knowledge units, validated by top subject matter experts in the field. Applications are reviewed by a team of government personnel and peer reviewers.

“We are honored to become a part of the CAE-CD community,” said Tina Burton, associate dean for the School of Business and Information Technology. “I am very proud of our program and how it changes students’ lives while they are prepared for a successful career in cybersecurity.”
