Cybersecurity Certificate Program

Program Overview

Cybersecurity is more important than ever, with government and private sector networks being exploited at an unprecedented scale. As these threats grow, the cyber workforce needs to understand and protect the critical components upon which the economy, government, and national security are built.

The Cybersecurity Certificate program provides students with a foundational knowledge of vital cyber aspects, including operations, laws, and policies.

Program Scope and Sequence

The Cybersecurity Certificate is comprised of three required courses; the first two courses must be taken concurrently. A certificate will be awarded upon completion.

Who Should Attend

This program will be beneficial to professionals working in the cyber realm who want to expand their knowledge, as well as individuals interested in transitioning to a cyber-related position.

Students should have an understanding of the roles of the three branches of the United States government and basic Constitutional concepts. Knowledge of networks is also helpful.

Program Objectives

Students will complete the program with a deeper understanding of cyber operations, laws, and policies. The program will also help prepare students to sit for the Certified Information Systems Security Professions (CISSP) exam.

Continuing Education Units

Continuing Education Units (CEUs) are awarded based on a standard of one unit per ten (10) hours of classroom contact.

Note: The University reserves the right to cancel courses due to insufficient enrollment or other unforeseen circumstances

Customized Programs

Companies and organizations can have this program conducted at Penn State Brandywine or elsewhere. Program content can be customized to meet the needs of the company. Call 610-648-3281 for information.
