Bachelor of Science in Computer Science in Cybersecurity at Lawrence Technological University

Have you always loved computers and kind of like the idea of fighting crime, too? As reports of personal information being stolen from major corporations dominate the news, cybersecurity has become an in-demand career field.

Just as computing technology has become an integral part of many aspects of our lives, the need to secure the operation of that technology has become critical.  The importance of secure computational operations has had significant impacts in social, commercial, financial, industrial, and political realms, and will continue to grow as the right to privacy is tested.  

In NJ and the surrounding Philadelphia and New York metro areas, the demand is even greater, with over 27,000 unfilled cybersecurity positions.  On a national level, cybersecurity has been recognized as a critical component of Homeland Security, and the Senate Appropriations committee funded cybersecurity efforts above the President’s request for FY 2019.  Students pursuing a B.S. in Cybersecurity will bring a powerful combination of a traditional liberal arts education with foundational knowledge and technical training needed to excel in the cybersecurity field.  A Minor in Cybersecurity is also available.
