Why study Cyber Operations?

The focus of our technical, interdisciplinary undergraduate certificate program is to produce exceptional cybersecurity professionals with expertise in various disciplines of cyber operations related to specialized intelligence, military, and law enforcement — ultimately increasing the security of our nation.

In June 2014, the National Security Agency and U.S. Cyber Command designated the University of Cincinnati (UC) as a National Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Operations (CAE-CO) for five consecutive academic years.

UC is the thirteenth of eighteen CAE-COs and offers a technical, interdisciplinary curriculum centered in fields such as computer science, computer engineering, information technology, political science, and criminology. Our educational offerings covers the entire cybersecurity spectrum -- human behavior and strategic policy analysis, software and network integration, algorithm development, data encryption and information security analytics.
