Overview
Cybersecurity is the art of protecting networks, devices, programs, and data from unauthorized access or criminal use and the practice of ensuring confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information. We currently live in a world where almost everyone relies on computers and the internet for communications, entertainment, transportation, shopping, medicine, electricity delivery, and national security, among others. Cybersecurity is a broad and diverse field, and there is a strong need for people who have knowledge and experience beyond traditional/expected hard science skills, such as coding, and networking. At the top of the list are skills such as critical thinking, problem-solving, conducting research, communication, attention to detail, creativity, thinking outside-the-box, and natural curiosity, which are quintessential Liberal Arts skills and expertise. The Minor in Cybersecurity and Human Behavior combines these perspectives on cybersecurity to give students a well-rounded multidisciplinary exposure and training.
