CONSULT COUNSELING FACULTY/FACULTY ADVISOR ABOUT CHOICE
This AAS degree prepares students for entry-level positions in cybersecurity. The program emphasizes computer security and information
assurance concepts augmented with current industry standard techniques. Topics cover threats and vulnerabilities, prevention at the technical
(hardware and software) and human levels, detection, response, and management aspects of security.
The program prepares entry-level computer technicians with cybersecurity expertise and also offers students a transfer option to four-year
institutions. The proposed program of study is designed to address the needs for increasing the number of trained workers qualified to work in
cybersecurity in the homeland security industry. The program is expected to meet National Security Telecommunications and Systems Security
Instruction (NSTISSI) 4011 and 4013 standards. It will also help prepare students to sit for a variety of industry certifications, including the
Computing Technology Industry Association’s (CompTIA) A+, Network+ and Security+ certifications; Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA)
certification; and the Security Certified Network Professional certification.
This degree is a career program and may not readily transfer to four year colleges/universities (except in special cases.) Visit transfer planning for more information.
