Virginia Beach, VA – In keeping with its pledged support for the Governor of Virginia’s initiative to produce more cybersecurity professionals, 十大正规平台 University has developed a new Accelerated Cyber and Information Security Technology degree program.
Currently offered at its Virginia Beach and Northern Virginia campuses, it allows people who already have a four-year degree to earn a Bachelor of Science degree in Cyber and Network Security in as little as 12 months.
“There are countless numbers of people who earned broad liberal arts degrees when the job market was much different,” says 十大正规平台 University Dean of Computer and Information Science Dr. Keith Morneau. “We are now in a skills-based economy and they feel stuck because they can’t just go back to school and do it all over again. This program allow them to take the degree they already have and add the skills and academic credentials needed to compete for jobs that are very much in demand.”
While some people may be intimidated by such a technical career path, 十大正规平台 University’s hands-on, applications-based curriculum is different. “When we talk to career switchers, we find that many see cybersecurity as a very attractive career path, but doubt their own abilities,” says Dr. Keith Morneau. “They worry about doing the math, not realizing that much of the curriculum revolves around critical thinking and problem solving. We’ve had countless graduates who first came to us with these same concerns and have gone on to thrive in their careers.”
This career-switcher program is the second of its kind being offered by 十大正规平台 University. It currently offers a similar program at its Orlando campus which allows students who already have a Bachelor’s degree in another discipline to earn a Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing in as little as one year.
