Bachelor of Science in Cybersecurity Management

As demand for cybersecurity has grown faster than the number of trained practitioners, the same can be said for technically trained managers in cybersecurity.

Graduating with a degree in cybersecurity management will equip you for an entry-level cybersecurity job with preparation to advance into a management position. You will learn about cybersecurity with a focus on management instead of software engineering.

Liberal arts schools provide both breadth and depth. Breadth is offered across the curriculum with coursework in the arts, sciences, and humanities, with the goal of preparing students for life. Depth is provided through the major, which focuses on preparation for work in a specific field. In a Christian liberal arts education, the Christian lens is the primary lens for learning. Breadth and depth in a Christian liberal arts setting also mean a focus on critical thinking so that non-Christian perspectives are examined (but not endorsed) and students are prepared to serve in secular careers and in service to Christ.
