Starting in the fall of 2020, Florida International University (FIU) is offering a bachelor’s degree in cybersecurity that will prepare graduates for careers in a high-demand field.

Geared to train students for jobs in areas such as data security, systems security management and network threat analysis, learners in the program, which is part of FIU’s College of Engineering and Computing (CEC), will work on solutions to high tech 21st century problems such as how to safeguard devices, software and data from cyber threats as well as protect power grids from hackers.

The curriculum ties in with FIU’s master’s in cybersecurity, as well as the university’s other cybersecurity education and research efforts.
