BS Cybersecurity Data Analytics

Centenary University School of Business, Media & Writing brings you an exciting BS in Cybersecurity that lead to rewarding careers in Information Technology. The BS in Cybersecurity prepares students for employment directly in a number of positions, or toward graduate programs, across a wide spectrum of industries.

Our cybersecurity major is designed with two goals in mind:

• To ensure that students stay one step ahead of evolving cyber threats.
• To provide students with fundamental IT skills.

Within this program, students will assess modern cybersecurity challenges that threaten our privacy, security, and safety, and gain both the knowledge and hands-on technical skills to protect digital assets from cyber criminals who leverage sophisticated social and cyber tactics to facilitate attacks.

As the cyber-attack surface continues to expand via the proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, it is increasingly vital that students learn how to “harden” networks, systems, and endpoint devices against cyber-attacks, topics which are covered in the course Modern Cybersecurity.

It has become incredibly cheap to automate constant digital attacks against any individual, Fortune 500 corporation, or government system. As a result, we now live in a world where we can assume that everyone is constantly at risk of attack from advanced cyber threats. This new paradigm has led to a boom in cybersecurity careers. According to LightCast, cybersecurity professionals earn a median salary of $103,000, with entry-level positions starting at $68k. Furthermore, there is virtually zero-percent unemployment within the field of cybersecurity, and approximately 663,430 unfilled positions in the US alone.
