Overview

At Franklin, you’ll learn how to make a real impact on business by helping protect sensitive and critical information from unauthorized disclosure, use or modification (accidental or not). You’ll also learn how security requirements and activities, such as risk identification, threat modeling, security testing and monitoring, fit into the overall systems development lifecycle.

Because our cybersecurity degree requirements are designed to help you make the most of your major, you’ll learn the fundamentals of computer science, information technology, security, information systems and web design, too. You will be exposed to critical infrastructure security, cloud computing risks, cryptography, information assurance, digital forensics, penetration testing and enterprise risk management.

You’ll also learn how to identify security risks, determine their impact on people, processes and systems, and develop mitigation plans to thwart them. Through hands-on lab assignments, you’ll also gain valuable experience in how to respond to increasingly malicious attacks, threats and vulnerabilities.

Our associate in Cybersecurity at Franklin University is 100 percent online, so you can earn your degree and still have work-life-school balance, too. And, if you decide to pursue your bachelor’s degree at Franklin, you’ll already have a strong foundation of coursework to prepare you to complete the B.S.
