Bachelor of Science in Cybersecurity

Program Description

Protecting valuable data and critical infrastructure assets has become a significant problem for companies and government agencies in South Carolina and throughout the U.S. A significant problem for these employers is lack of personnel with cybersecurity training.

Winthrop University's Bachelor of Science in Cybersecurity degree (CYBR) was approved by the SC Commission on Higher Education in 2021 and began its first class of students in Fall of 2021. This is the first stand-alone cybersecurity degree by a South Carolina state-run university. The program leverages coursework from Winthrop's successful Computer Science degree with a core of seven specialized cybersecurity courses. Graduates of the CYBR degree will have many career opportunities and should expect excellent salaries.
