Cybersecurity Minor
The Cybersecurity minor is intended to be suitable for landing entry-level work in the field. It is accessible to students in any major at HSU.
Three courses include topics directly relevant to the industry-recognized CompTIA certifications. Although students aren’t required to sit for the certification exams, if they choose to do so (and pass the exams) they will have a widely accepted certification to accompany their transcript. The courses and certifications are:
- Computer Networking -> Networking+
- Intro to Cybersecurity -> Security+
- Penetration Testing -> PenTest+
In the current scheduling of courses a student can start the minor in any fall semester and will need three years to complete it in order to satisfy pre-requisites and limited scheduling.
