Cybersecurity program earns NSA validation, will soon add second cyber threat range
February 14, 2024
With the launch of a new college focused on computing on the horizon, the growing cybersecurity program recently received national recognition and has expanded its outreach to area middle and high school students.
Andrew Kalafut, associate professor of computing, said the undergraduate program received National Security Agency validation, a step toward becoming a Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education.
Kalafut said the validation process considers a program's curriculum, continuous improvement, continual activity for faculty and external opportunities for students.
"It's more than checking off boxes," Kalafut said. "This is public-facing and validates our program of study. It shows our external audience that the NSA has reviewed this and we are in line to become a center of academic excellence."
