Bachelor in Cybersecurity & Global Policy

Addressing challenges of technology and culture

We live in a rapidly changing world where cyber and networked systems have impacted how we engage with and understand each other, world cultures, and geopolitical issues. From global terrorism and securing elections to combating the spread of misinformation and protecting privacy and personal data, understanding the risks and cultural impact of technology policy around the world is more important than ever.

The BS in Cybersecurity and Global Policy— a joint degree between the Hamilton Lugar School of Global and International Studies and the Luddy School of Informatics, Computing, and Engineering—provides an in-depth understanding of the technology behind these systems and the implications of social policies around the world.

The Hamilton Lugar School of Global & International Studies at Indiana University is a leader in the study of international affairs. We make the world a better place by engaging with its governments, businesses, laws, and nonprofit sectors, and we pursue innovations and solutions from the strong foundation of a Big Ten research university.
