The Bachelor in Cybersecurity at Innotech mirrors the specialized BS in Information Technology (Cybersecurity) from Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering at Arizona State University (ASU).
Built on core areas such as computer science, networking, and systems, the curriculum focuses on secure design, threat analysis, and defense strategies. Students learn how vulnerabilities arise, how attacks work, and how to protect systems.
Hands-on learning through labs and projects gives students practical experience in identifying threats, securing systems, and responding to incidents.
The Bachelor of Science in Cybersecurity offers a 3+1 Dual Degree Pathway in partnership with Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering at Arizona State University (ASU). Students complete three years at Innotech and finish their final year at ASU — online or on campus in Arizona — graduating with two bachelor's degrees in just four years.*
Upon successful completion of the 3+1 pathway, you graduate with:
*Final year at ASU and dual degree eligibility depend on successful credit transfer and approval by Arizona State University. Program details may vary based on academic progress.
The program covers areas like network security, cryptography, ethical hacking, digital forensics, and risk management, along with governance, compliance, and ethics.
Graduates are prepared for roles in cybersecurity, as well as further study, certifications, or research in the field.
Graduates of the Bachelor in Cybersecurity are prepared to secure, manage, and assess digital systems and networks, with a focus on threat prevention and system protection.
