University earns designation as a Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense (CAE-CD)
The College of Engineering Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Engineering with a Minor in Cybersecurity degree program earns prestigious CAE-CD designation from the NSA and the DHS.
“The designation is a recognition of the program that we have put in place over the years,” Lecturer and Deputy Director of the Cybersecurity Center Nancy LaTourrette said. “It has been a department-wide effort, but it is more than that. It required the support of faculty in eight disciplines across campus, as well as strong support from University administration.”
