The Cybersecurity and Network Management Program is in the School of Computing in the College of Engineering Applied Science and Technology (EAST) at Weber State University (WSU). Students have the following degree options:

• Bachelor of Science in Cybersecurity and Network Management, Associate of Applied Science in Cybersecurity and Network Management, Minor in Cybersecurity and Network Management, Network Security Technology Certificate of Proficiency, Network Technologies Certificate of Proficiency, and Cybersecurity Essentials Certifcate of Proficiency
• Students learn to install, configure, and secure data and voice networks. Students will learn how to install, administer, and secure operating systems in diverse virtual and physical systems. Industry leading software and hardware from partners that include Microsoft, Amazon, VMWare, and Cisco will be used for interactive lab work to introduce, reinforce, and evaluate key concepts. Students will explore cyber ethics, cyber policies, compliance, and risk management. Students will participate in an internship in an information technology department or complete a rigorous cybersecurity and network management related project.
• Graduates in this major may work in the sybersecurity and information technology industry.  Jobs may focus on local area networks, fiber optics, firewalls, router configuration protocols, cloud environments, online databases, wireless networking, voice technology, and network security.
