Bachelor of Science in Cybersecurity

University of Nebraska at Omaha

Cybersecurity (CYBR) is an emerging, rapidly expanding science that addresses problems in the fundamental understanding of the design, development, implementation and life cycle support of secure information systems. The need for secure information systems has become a paramount concern as the computer-enabled, internet-connected, digital-based global society of the 21st century continues to emerge. The lack of adequately secure information systems has been cited as one of the likely impediments to the emergence of the digital society. The University of Nebraska at Omaha's undergraduate Cybersecurity degree program is one of the few National Security Agency (NSA) certified National Centers of Academic Excellence in Cyber Operations (CAE-CO). As a result, UNO's College of Information Science and Technology (IS&T) is able to offer undergraduate students majoring in Cybersecurity the option to pursue a specialized Cyber Operations (CO) track and complete the requirements set out by the NSA's CAE-CO program. Students already enrolled in the Bachelor of Science in Cybersecurity degree program have very few additional requirements to meet in order to complete the Cyber Operations track.
