Overview

If it hasn’t already happened to you, it has likely happened to someone you know. Businesses are just as vulnerable: in 2021, 85% of organizations were on the receiving end of a successful cyberattack. There’s a real need for skilled, ethical professionals who know how to design, manage, and administer network systems… and keep them safe.

The good news is that there’s something you can do about it. It all starts with an accredited Bachelor of Science in Computer Networks and Cybersecurity from the School of Information Technology at Monroe University.

Key Features

The impact of cybersecurity breaches is immense. Cybercrime costs individuals and businesses trillions of dollars every year, and cyberattacks are the fastest growing category of crimes in the country.

It’s no wonder that companies everywhere are looking for network experts who can predict — and deflect — the many attacks on their systems. In 2022 alone, companies around the world increased their average IT security budget by 5%, but they still can’t find enough qualified computer network security experts to meet their needs. There are more openings in information security than there are people to fill them.

Careers

The New York City metro area is one of the great innovation capitals of the world. It’s also a capital of finance, law, retail, and healthcare: all industries that need to be able to guarantee the security of their clients’, customers’, and patients’ information.

Graduates of the School of Information Technology have launched their careers in many of those industries, at IBM, Montefiore Medical Center, Citigroup, Verizon, Infosys, and Salesforce. Those companies, and many more, show no signs of slowing down when it comes to hiring information security professionals.

With a bachelor’s degree, you’ll be qualified to meet the rising demand for many of those cybersecurity and networking jobs, including:

Information security analyst

Network administrator

Computer network support specialist

Computer network architect

Cyber data analytics expert

Penetration tester (aka ethical hacker)
