Computer Science/Cybersecurity

This pathway aligns with both UMA’s Computer Information Systems degree and Cybersecurity program, and offers interested students eight courses in the computer science/information security area to explore. Computer Information Systems (CIS) is at the forefront of economic growth in the United States. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, over 400,000 new jobs are projected to hit the market in this sector in the next decade. CIS professionals not only have the technical know-how, but they can apply that know-how to solve real-world problems. 

UMA has a robust Cybersecurity program with both Bachelor and graduate level degrees available. UMA’s B.S. in Cybersecurity degree program promotes the study and advancement of Cybersecurity, with focus areas in Cyber Forensics, Information Assurance, and Network Security Analyst. Hands-on learning is an integral part of this degree program, with hands-on experience available through the Cybersecurity range, apprenticeship programs, and the Maine Cybersecurity center.
