Cybersecurity Program
What a cybersecurity major has to offer:
The B.S. in Cybersecurity program at UW-Whitewater will educate future Cybersecurity professionals to identify, prevent, detect and respond to security attacks that endanger the safety of property and people. Students in the program will learn to design and implement actionable security solutions by considering both human and technical factors. The practice-oriented learning environment will help prepare students to obtain positions such as security analyst, security consultant, vulnerability tester, security engineer, or security manager. Out of the classroom, you will have rich choices of extra-curricular activities that include cybersecurity competitions, software development projects, and undergraduate research.
In collaboration with the Cybersecurity Center for Business at UW-Whitewater, the program will provide nice practical learning experiences for the students.
