SECURITY STUDIES Dr. Frank, director; Prof. Niezgodski, Dr. Sutton
The Security Studies Program consists of two majors: national security and cybersecurity. Each major includes foundational courses, national security policy courses, Christian ethics, and relevant electives. The program is designed to prepare graduates for careers in security-related positions in either the public or private sectors, by providing a more precisely focused, interdisciplinary curriculum than ordinarily obtained in traditional political science or computer science majors. The cybersecurity major is aligned to meet the standards required for accreditation by the Department of Homeland Security and National Security Agency as a National Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense Education (CAE-CD). Students in both majors are expected to successfully complete the foundational courses before attempting upper-division coursework. Students are strongly encouraged to discuss second majors, minors, and internship opportunities with a program advisor.
