To meet the ever-growing demand for well-trained, ethically responsible cybersecurity professionals, we looked to programs and students at community colleges in the Dallas-Fort Worth area as input for our new degree in cybersecurity. Then we applied curricular guidelines from CAE, NICE, ABET, and ACM to develop high quality, academically challenging, and career-enriching ABET-accredited pathways for community college students to a degree in cybersecurity that is responsive to industry trends, changing standards, and employer needs.
